Results of recent tests. “ by Consumers’ Association of Canada In ‘the April issue of Canadian Con- sumer may serve as a guide in your next such dilemna. - All dry cells or batteries have essentially the same com- ponents; a negative electrode made of metal that releases electrons to produce electrical current; a positive electrode that attracts electrons; and an electrolyte paste which serves as a chemical conductor ; of electric. charges from one electrode {o anather. But that’s where the similarities end. Batteries come in various sizes and shapes and are designed for many uses. However, carbon-zine cells are the cheapest and most widely used since they lend themselves to the greatest number of ap- plications. ; When purchasing a, battery, most consumers want to know: 1, Will it satisfy voltage and current. requirements . of equipment; mo, 9. Can it be stored without’ deterioralion; 3. How long will it last; ‘4. Comparative cost based on battery life... . : It .is simple enough to discover a battery's voltage by looking at the label, and in- structions with equipment will usually tell you whal size of cell and how many cells you need lo operate it. But deterioration, leakage, batlery life and cost factors ‘can baffle any con- sumer. : A battery’s. life span will depend largely on three factors: -- the current it is required to provide -- how long the cell is used at one time . . + how long the cell is allowed lo rest before it is used again Chemical leakage can occur if a battery has been stored under adverse conditions, poorly handled or does not have an adequate seal. Corrosive coze can damage metal parts, wiring the instrument containing lhe ‘batteries. Batteries should be _— checked frequently for leakage and defective cells destroyed ORDON & ANDERSON LT 635-6576 | NEWS AND VIE and solder points thus ruining ° sat before they have a chance te corrode connections, Leakage—- also presents a personal hazard as corrosive substances are especially harmful to mucous membranes. If seepage fram a battery comes in contact with skin, eyes or mouth, wash, immediately with cold water. Heat can: prematurely age batteries during the time lapse between manufacture and use, If you must store dry cells at home for any length of time keep them in a cocl, dry place. If you choose lo store batteries ina refrigerator, seal them in a ‘plastic bag and allow the cells to return to room temperature: | before use.
