Storage Battery Is
Explained

The storage battery. one Of the
most important parts Of the radio
. receiving set. is usually the most
neglected
There are few receiving sets on
the market that advertise the use
OF common dry cell batteries for
lighting the filament OF the vacuum
tubes. But they cannot last long. a
vacuum tube draws approximately
one ampere OF current an hour. This
pull on a dry battery kills IL quick

The Bureau OF sta ndards at
Washington has announced the de-
velopment OF "A radio receiving set
that eliminates the storage battery.
But until this IS popularized on the
market. the radio amateur will have

battery.
Lead Batteries
There are in general two very
good types OF storage batteries-the
lead Plate and the nickel iron

Lead batteries consist OF lead
plates immersed in a % percent
solution Of sulphuric acid The jar
or container for portable batter
les used in radio sets is usually OF
"a hard rubber compound.
The plates are usually Of the
