Dry cell batteries become useless

in two ways, first by being exhausted in service through furnishing all the current they are capable of supplying and second, by the effects of time, it being a flict that in from a year and a half a battery deteriorates practical- ly completely, even -though it never is called upon to furnish current. For lighting service or as a regular ignition' source ithp heavy duty or ignition type of cell is* to beapre- » ierred, as the probability is that ii will be exhausted by current draft before it has greatly deteriorated

merely to furnish ignition current to start the engine, it is a question whether it pays -to use the ignition type of cel) for here the actual ser- vice is very light indeed ani what is wanted is a battery that will act ai “standby” for as long as possible wi-thout renewal. In this service the "general purpose" or even the -tele phone -type of cell will give the neces sary current for the brief periods ii lg required and will _resist deteriora- tion by agc cnsidsrably longer. The same thing is true of a dry battery ' used as an auxiliary ignition source_ while an engine is being cranked by the storage battery that furnishes the regular ignition. Here also a long lived battery is desirable and heavy current capability is unimportant. There is upon the market a type of iry cell which is “extra dry,” -that is it contains no free moisture and wii` give no current until after water hai _ been supplied it. Moreover it wil keep indefinitely without deteriorat ing and can be put into service at any :im¢,`by the addition of ;water. A battery of such desiccated cells con, itituteg a iesérve source of ignition current, which can be put l-nto action within tt few hours alter water is idded to the,cells,4to -take -the place temporarily, of a storage battery -that 'Jas run down or is otherwise not tvallable. In making up batteries 'rom dry cells, it is necessary to use me cell for,each volt required by the ipparatus to he operated for example _toitake the place of a six-volt storagi '1attery, six dry cells, connected ir. ierles. ii._e., with the zinc terminal o' me connected fo the carbon termina. _ if 'the next, are necessary.
