Q.—E. W. F. says: "I am using two
45 volt B -Fatteries on my receiver,
but one of them has dropped to about
25 volt. Is it necessary to buy a new
4,5 volt battery or can I just add a 22.5
volt one to bring my total voltage up
to normal again?"
Ans.—When a 45 volt battery has
dropped to 25 volts it is high time
that it was discarded. If left in the
circuit, it would spoil the reception ev-
en if new batteries were used with it.
