Proper Way to Charge Battery A storage battery can only be jpharged by a direct current, and when charging the positive wire of the charging current must be connected to the positive of the battery, and the negative to the negative. The voltage of the charging current" should be somewhat greater than that of the battery, whilo the amperage should not be above onetenth cf the capacity. When a battery is charged or discharged very quickly it will overheat, and the paste will fall out of the grids. Not only will this prevent the battery from taking a charge, but It will short circuit the plates at the bottom. For this reason the battery must be charged slowly.
