[Shop-talk] Rebuilding car batteries

[doug at dougbraun.com (Doug Braun)]

In the olden days, Ford's parts catalog listed individual plates for
their batteries.  I guess it was normal for the local mechanic to
unseal and remove the top of the battery case and replace failed
internal parts.

Today that would be quite impossible...
