DO-FLITTER IS BATTERY GUM Little Glass Instrument Ef ficacious in Operation of Automobile "How can that little glass "do flitter" tell whether a battery is fully charged or not?" dubiously queries some fair lady motorist during the days work at tho aver age battery service station. And many a man would like to know more about the same subject but he does not like to confess his ig norance his curiosity is not quite so keen. The explanation is simple in deed and very reasonable when one givea it sufficient considera tion. It happens that the sul phuric acid used in a battery so lution is heavier than water alone, and the hydrometer used for bat tery testing merely indicates the relative weight of the solution compared with the weight of pure wate. When a battery 13 fully charged a great amount of the acid in the battery solution has combined with the lead, compounds in the plates. Naturally the solution is weak in acid and the float rides deep. But when the battery is discharged and the acid is in the solution the solution has become heavier and the hydrometer float rides high. The Willard Storage Battery company and many other manu facturers recommend the regular and frequent testing of batteries with the " hydrometer. Unless a battery has been meddled with by some Inexperienced person, thi3 makes a reliable test of the state of charge.
