sten 84 #1 Posted August 28, 2015 A couple of pictures of an old battery I've had hanging about for years, I guess it would have been one of a bank of batteries, anyone any idea of an age for it ? 1 Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #2 Posted August 28, 2015 Lithanode went bust in 1900. That would put it at around 115 years old more or less? I'm just guessing mind. No doubt 6 volt. 1 sten reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sten 84 #3 Posted August 28, 2015 Getting on a bit then, I guess its not worth trying to charge it 1 Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #4 Posted August 28, 2015 Lithanode signs are selling over the £200 mark. I reckon that battery will be very, very rare, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sten 84 #5 Posted August 28, 2015 Yes I would imagine it to be rare, most would have got scrapped years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #11 Posted August 28, 2015 It may not be. Been doing a bit of research. Could be from 1900 to possibly late 1920's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sten 84 #15 Posted August 30, 2015 Unless i's worth a shed load of money I'd keep it as a very cool conversation piece No plans for selling, just keep it with the rest of my "junk" Its a shame its not a "D.P.Battery" they were made in my home town of Bakewell.
