Some of these batteries were used as storage for lighting on farms and in small towns for street lights before rural electric lines were installed. They were charged by a wind powered DC generator. The small town that i live in used to have such a city lighting system,this was before my time. I remember seeing the glass batteries in the cement block building and the generator on a tower outside. On a place where my dad farmed there were some of the batteries in a cave where there used to be a farm house. Iwas told they were used as lighting for the house and charged by a wind generator. Don't know for sure when they were used but probably around 1920 to 1940. (just guessing on the years)
