10 CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Nov. 22, 1962 Battery Failure Ranks High For Winter Trouble Battery failure ranks os the No. 1 cause of car breakdowns in the winter months, says the B.C, Automobile Association. For maximum battery effic~ iency, the BCAA urges motorists to’ use the following check list: Water and electrolyte should cover battery plates at all times. Your battery must be charged to avoid freezing in cold weather. Have a hydrometer. test. of your battery about every” 1,000 miles. The hydrometer measures the strength of battery acids which tell the condition of your battery. Corrosion around the battery |": terminals is a common cause of resistance to the flow of battery current, Use sandpaper’ to’ shine battery | terminal posts at. least three times a year. Check your voltage regulator for, battery overcharging. An over- charged battery’ will buckle’ its |" cover and the sides will bulge. Your battery ‘is probably overcharging if you have to add more than two ounces of water a month, “fl When you take your car for a lubrication, ' have "the “serviceman clean the battery case. Dirt and corrosion around the battery ham- per its efficiency. Slow city driving can ‘weaken a battery. If most of your driving is in the city, use a home charger to Keep your battery up to the proper level. Vibrations can ruin a battery. Check your hold-down clamps to be certain they are tight.’ Some Fall Fairs May Lose Grant From B.C.
