Show oo STORAGE BATTERIES GIVE THEM ATTEITI To autoists storage batteries are of considerable moment, and the better information the driver gets on tho question, the better prepared he is to r take care of his batteries and mako moro efficient the operation of his machine. The Prest-o-lite storage battery bat-tery has become quite extensively known, but it is not amiss to give some of the ideas expressed by H. E. Davis, who is a distributor of the bat- tery. Mr. Davis says; "All storage batteries are more of less alike in principle. "Their nature is chiefly chemical. "Hence1 the difference in efficiency between any two batteries Is the difference dif-ference in the condition under which chemical action and reaction can take, place. "Storage battery engineering, therefore, there-fore, becomes a problem of bringing plates and chemical solution together ! so as to obtain the largest amount and surface of active material in a certain space, the least amount o 'lost motion' in tho chemical action, tho least amount of heat internally generated and tho least amount of damage to tho elements which aro constantly exposed to deterioration through chemical and other causes. "In automobile batteries tho necessity neces-sity for light weight and large, rapid output of current present special problems of design. "The design of the Prest-o-llto storage stor-age battery may ho truthfully said to embody tho result of over thirty years' experience." |
