Scientific American, 1887 (battery squabble continued)
In compiling a list of about 1000 references stating that a lead acid battery
cell is 2.2 volts, I stumbled across a reprint of an article from Scientific American in 1887. What a gem! Illustrations and all. It's an interesting item about a battery system for lighting railroad passenger cars. The inventors were excited about introducing electric light into railcars because the kerosene lamps being phased out were considered dangerous. I started a fresh thread because: There's just a handful of grumpy old men interested in debating whether a battery cell is 2.1 or 2.2 volts, but anybody dealing with DC systems on a boat will enjoy the Scientific American article. http://catskillarchive.com/rrextra/sdbat.Html |

Yah, but how did they know the cells were 2.1 or 2.2 volts, they didn't have
