Fourth.—Also consult the data contained on the battery name-plate. Ifno defects are apparent from the surface inspection, see battery charged andconduct test discharges for available capacity for comparison with normalrat^d capacity. Fifth.—If the inspection of the battery shows that the cause of the troubleis external or that the faults can be rectified without unsealing the cell, then.

Sixth.—If trouble lies within the cell and cannot be rectified by treatment,unseal the cell and proceed with necessary repairs. Drilling Loose from Terminal Posts.—In order to disconnectcells having their connectors lead-burned to the terminal posts it has in gen-eral been found that the best method consists in using a ratchet brace andtwist drill, the drill to be slightly larger in diameter than that portion ofthe terminal post which passes through and is lead-burned to the hole should be carefully centered with the terminal post and should be 326 Storage Battery Manual drilled to a depth which is slightly in excess of the thickness of the lead-burned
