According to my dad his clothes were always full of holes because he used to have the job at the auto repair shop where he worked of rebuilding Model T Ford batteries. He would dump the battery acid on the ground then pull the plates. The plates would get scrubbed with steel wool to remove the carbon. Then he would use new paper to make insulators when the plates were placed back in the case. Finally new battery acid was poured in the case. It was a hard way to make a couple dollars. He would spend half a day on a battery.</p></blockquote><p></p>
