The Cambridge Rectifier All makers of storage batteries caution the user againstpermitting batteries to remain in a discharged conditioneven though temporarily not in use. All batteries, whetherin the motor car, motor boat, laboratory or other service,require frequent charging, and where an automatic means,such as lighting generator in a motor car, is provided, itfrequently happens that occasional charging from an addi-tional source of current is necessary. For such cases, the Cambridge Rectifier fills a useful. charging bane need, and an occasional charge for a few hours will keepthe battery in prime condition. Where no automatic meansof charging is provided, such a rectifier becomes an absolutenecessity. Aside from the convenience of always havingyour battery ready when you want it. you will probablysave its cost in longer battery life, in battery rentals andcharging fees from service stations. Storage batteries must be charged on direct current andconnected to the source of current so that this current will (Ictober 1, 191!) THE ELECTRICAL NEWS flow through the battery in the correct direction, and in onedirection only. Unfortunately, practically all public light-ing systems furnish only alternating current in which thecurrent rapidly reverses its direction of flow, passing firstin one direction and then the other. A storage battery con-nected to such a source of current would be quickly Cambridge rectifier was designed to permit this alter-nating current to be used safely and e
