Excerpt from Storage Battery Engineering: A Practical Treatise for Engineers
The evident and long unfulfilled need of a practical work on the storage battery, particularly adapted for electrical engineers who are not chemists, and on the details of its engineering applications, together with the pleasant reception accorded some writings of the Author on this line, in the Electrical World and Engineer, last year, have induced the preparation of this book.
It is intended to assist the practicing engineer in designing, installing and maintaining battery equipments, and to guide him in the selection of types of batteries and auxiliary apparatus best suited to the service which they are to perform, and at the same time impress upon the technical public, both the advantages and limitations of the storage battery in practice.
Mathematics have been avoided as far as possible, and when the proper treatment of any subject has compelled their use, all operations have been carried through with explanatory text, so that the reasoning may be easily followed, and in many instances each mathematical discussion is further elucidated by a concrete example.
The works and papers consulted are given in detail in the Bibliography which follows, and all useful information therein contained and within the scope of this work has been freely used, as have also a few cuts and diagrams.
The Osmotic and Thermodynamic theories of the Storage Battery have not been discussed, as their comprehension requires more electro-chemical knowledge than the majority of electrical engineers possess, and this work is essentially a practical engineers' manual.
The Author desires to acknowledge the kind assistance and encouragement from many sources, in the production of this book.
