RE: [Chrysler300] Correct Batteries

Terry:

I don't have or know how to create a picture website, but perhaps they could
be posted at the Club website for posterity.  There seems to always seems to
be a lot of interest in the old batteries and we do tend to rediscover the
wheel here from time to time.

I'd love to have a set of the .jpg's, especially of the Group 2 6-Voltas.
Have you thought about making molds of the cases or just of the lettered
panels?  A cast panel that might be stuck to a modern 6-Volt black battery
might be a good choice for many of us.	

Can you tell us more about the service station attendants' kits?  I don't
remember much other than the Voltmeter with the pointed probes that enabled
testing each cell's voltage.  I diagnosed a lot of failed batteries with
that tool.  I also used the hydrometer to check the density of the acid
solution.  Perhaps these were in the kits??  Along with battery lifting
handles, terminal post cleaners and battery cable clamp wrenches and
pullers?  Maybe even safety goggles and rubber gloves??  (Naahh).

Subject: [Chrysler300] Correct Batteries

I picked up an unused auto-lite battery case some years ago and added to my
Auto-lite battery rack which has a number of the old service station
attendants kits which resemble batteries in it.

Took some pictures today and would be happy to share if anyone has site to
post them at.

For what it is worth none of the items I have have a decal of any sort on
them.  they are molded and then the highlites painted in most cases.  some
bum actually painted over the whole Willard unit I  have.  the battery rack
itself shows a battery style which is different than the NOS case I have.
Just happened to think that vintage ads may  shed some light on the affair
also.  Lots of times they picture the actual item being sold.   Mechanics
magazines would be the best hope I'd think.

Anyway if anyone has a site to post them on I'll send some jpegs along.

Just let me know at tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
