FORD MODEL A
The Ford Battery
The Ford Starting
System uses
a six-volt
80
ampere hour,
13-plate battery,
designed and built
to
meet the requirements
of the Ford car.
Adding Water to Battery
Every two
weeks
check the
electrolyte
in
the
battery to see
that it is
at the
proper level.
The solution
(Electrolyte)
should
be maintained
at
a
level
with
lhe bottom
of the filling tube. If
below this
point,
add
distilled
water
until
th
electrolyte
reaches
the proper
level. Water
for
battery use
should
be kept
in clean, covered vessels of glass, china, rubber or lead. In cold
weather
add
water only immediately
before
running the engine
so
that the charging will
mix the water and electrolyte
and
prevent
freezing.
Access
to the
battery
is easily made
by
removing
a small plate loca ed in the floor board in
front of
the driver's seat.
To
remove the battery from the car it will be
necessary to take out the floor boards. When
replacing
the
battery
in
the
car be sure
to install
it
with
the
POSITIVE
terminal
grounded
to the frame
as
shown in Fig. 15.
