Subject: Re: Battery advice for LG45
Hi David,
Problem was my file size was too large to download here, too much faffing to sort it. But whilst yours is a different advert and view, that's pretty much the same battery in the 1940 advert ... and now I've magnified it, it does show a lid.
Your other photo is just the job ... except, for me, not much help! I assumed a similar arrangement, but the V12 battery compartment is one long "box", with the batteries mounted sideways, whereas mine would have been end to end.
I doubt a leather strap would have been used by the factory, as I would imagine acidic battery fumes would rot that pretty quickly. If original, maybe it held a tool/tools?
Unfortunate Arnold's " ... in Detail" book doesn't extend to battery compartment photos. Likewise my book of reprint road tests doesn't help, although there is another LG45 battery photo. I can't detect any straps or bars, and to me, the neatest solution would have been to run a long screw down from those holes in the battery lid and casing, down to captive nuts in the box floor.
