Excerpt from The Automobile Storage Battery: Its Care and Repair Many books have been written on Storage Batteries used in stationary work, as in electric power stations. These books cover the subject thoroughly. The storage battery, as used on the modem gasoline car, however, is subjected to service which is radically different from that of the battery in stationary work. It is true that the chemical actions are the same in all lead-acid storage batteries, but the design, construction, and operation of the starting and lighting battery are unique, and require a special description. This book therefore refers only to the lead-acid type of starting and lighting battery used on the modern gasoline automobile. It is divided into two sections. The first section covers the theory, design, operating conditions, and care of the battery. The Willard Battery Company, the Electric Storage Battery Company, and the U.S. Light and Heat Corporation kindly contributed most of the illustrations for this section. The second section deals with the actual work of repairing and rebuilding the storage battery. Much of the material for the text in this section was furnished by Mr. H. E. Peers of Topeka, Kansas, who also supplied most of the photographs from which the illustrations were made for this section. Mr. Peers is a practical battery man, and has been engaged in actually repairing and rebuilding batteries for many years. The second section will be especially valuable to the battery repairman. All the instructions given have been in actual use for years, and represent the accumulated experiences of one of the most up-to-date battery repair shops in the United States. Information concerning any of the tools and appliances may be obtained from the American Bureau of Engineering.
