This causes rap id overheating and damage not seen at the time, but results in considerable expense later. -"Overheating : of a battery -may result from an undercharged con dition continuing for some time. ( "When undercharged for some time, plates become hardened and offer greater resistance to the charging current. If therefore a car with a starved battery is taken qri a long run, the normal charg ing rate will produce intense heat in the battery to such, an extent that the plates will buckle. This starved condition may be due -to the inexperience or lack of knowl- edge" on the part of the driver,' who 'does not use judgment in op erating his lights, or who uses the starter oftener than necessary. If theX battery were in a normal con dition this would not occur. ; "Periodic -Inspection 0 your battery's condition during hot summer weather by a . battery ser vice station is about the best sort of trouble insurance you can carry,"- concludes Mr. Williams.
