Show ADVICE ON KEEPING BATTERIES CHARGED The load on the storage battery is much more severe In winter than in summer. This is duo to two things. ne Is the fact that the battery cranks the motor longer toPatart It, the other is that the lights are used mm h more frequently Furthermore, the average driver seldom drives any groat distance in winter, consequently consequent-ly no great amount ot eln i nelty Is stored and the battery runs down very rapidly. The buttery should be tested i'Vitj week or ten days, and should show from 1 870 to 1 290. If the car is not driven sufficiently far to recharge Mic- battery, M should be given period' ical charges by any local battery service ser-vice station. A discharged battery is vory apt to freeze In excessive cold, and this will crack the cells. nn |
