    Now I find -that- to be a most interesting statement. :)

  • I did understand that antimony is a substance included in batteries and the said batteries had 5 percent antimony. Beyond that I am lost. I don't see a question so I guess this was a presentation of fact. Beyond that I see no significance and reason anyone would be interested. I must be missing most of the meaning here.
  • Antimony is a substance added to the lead in the plates
    The plate is a lead alloy that is 5 precent antimony
    IIRC it aids in the prevention of loss of plate material
    Less debris in the bottom of the battery , longer plate life
