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.
