A little information:
Thomas A. Edison Primary Batteries were widely used on railroads to energize track and signal circuits. The battery itself consisted of a glass jar 6" in diameter and 10" high. Each cell produced 0.8 volt. The elements had to be renewed at various times due to train density and other factors. The new elements consisted of zinc and lead plates, a can of caustic soda, and a small glass of oil. The caustic soda was mixed with water, the elements were suspended in the solution, and the battery oil (in this glass bottle) was added to the top of the solution to prevent evaporation.
And Charles Turner of Redfield, Iowa described battery oil as " a pure non-conductive oil that is added to the potassium-based electrolyte in old Edison nickel-iron batteries to reduce water loss due to excessive gassing. Due to their high-charging characteristics, the Edison battery will boil the water out very quickly without a film of oil on the electrolytic fluid"...
