BATTERY. Herewith please find for your reference an up-to-date copy of the Specification (No.302) of RR. 20 HP. Chassis Lighting & Starting Battery. The batteries which are now being made by both the P & R Co. and the Exide Co. for our 20 HP. chassis are to this specification and are interchangeable, not only as regards the complete battery but also as regards individual cells, thus facilitating the problem of spares and replacements. As in the case of the 40/50, these batteries contain all the desirable features which have been arrived at by continued mutual experience. Specn. No.302 att. EFC. | ||
