9a .... and don't forget about the battery! Auto=batteries suffer a permanent self-discharge, which amounts to about 1% of their capacity per day. In [tark used batteries of course the discharge air is much larger. If the battery remains in de= charged condition for a longer time, then the plate inserts harden and thus fills up the power supply capacity or. The battery becomes completely unusable. However, in inferior car=batteries there are valuable specifications, namely lead connections, with which [parjam must be bypassed=. Therefore, the batteries of reared vehicles are removed and maintained according to Jachmähr. Werkftätte is given in care. The battery is recharged about every 4 - 5 weeks. Every 8 to 1 weeks the battery is discharged with 10=fluid discharge (this is with a 75=ampereftunden=battery 7.5 amp. and with a 9oer battery 9 amp.) and charged again. 49912 2. There is also the possibility to continuously dispose of the battery with jo much current, that the Selbjtent= charge is balanced. However, this is more fchwier, because the self-charge is dependent on the state of the battery = and is therefore not exactly known. In the case of older batteries, the continuous charge for a 75 battery with 0.03 amp. and for a 90 battery with 0,04 amp. can be charged. For older batteries the duration = chargerom Jo regulates that the charge for the battery remains between 2.2 and 2.3 volts. 3. The battery's "silent call retention" is often recommended. In the case of this method, the battery is charged for 10 hours first with a current boost, the l/io of the amperejtunden=capacity is joll. (For a 75 battery 7.5 amp., for a 90 battery 9 amp.). The battery faeces must be drained = and then filled into the defillated weapon over the upper plate space. On this the battery must be recharged for another 5 - 6 hours with the same chargejtrom strength as before. The still small acid residue containing battery filling must also be removed and exfoliated by difilled walfer. A fo treated battery can be lapped when the plate barrels are fully covered with distilled weapon, after harvesting of the pots for a long time ytehen, but the battery must be placed in a room in which the temperature does not fink on the freezing point. Normal call charge is required to restart the battery treated with Jo, whereby befonders must be careful to correct regulation of the acid = dense. Beitcag collection has met the most demanding requirements for inferior member department and could be carried out trot convening numerous employees to the Wehrmacht service smoothly. - If letters from all members could not be answered in individual cases fofort, or sometimes a mistake has been made, jo we ask you to excuse this and to remember=Jichtigen that in the course of eight weeks unferere member department had to answer about 4oooo letters individually.
