A Battery Brief

To have battery working at its
best efficiency, the terminals Should be
kept free from corrosion, scale
which is formed by the electrolyte or
acid. To get rid of it, scrape the ter
minals until there is bright lead fin
ish. Washing the terminals with am
monia or some other alkaline solution
will neutralize any acid that may be
present and prevent corrosion. Take
care that none of this solution gets
into the battery, as 1t will neutralize
the acid in the battery and also stop
it's action.
