Re: ZONE 48volt battery issues !
Why not go with six 8 volt batteries? Better than four 12 volts batteries and cheaper than eight 6 volt batteries...

Re: ZONE 48volt battery issues !
The YouTube video is of my house. I lost everything in my home on that summer day 8/13/2012. If you have a zone cart in your garage, get it out of there. Only park it where it would not catch anything you care about catching on fire. It doesn't even need to be plugged in to blow a battery. I read on another forum about a guy backing down a driveway and blowing a hole on the top of a battery.
There have been many fires, but you are not going to find them due to settlement agreements. These owners cannot talk about them. I have not settled with them. I’m only asking for what my insurance didn't pay for and they are fighting to not pay anything. They know there is a problem and are not contacting anyone to warn them of the dangers. I’m warning you right now! I’m a shift worker and came home at 6:00 am, hit the shower and tried to go to bed. It was summer and my wife and two kids were home sleeping. Lucky for me the batteries made a lot of noise when they were exploding. I went to see what the noise was and found the two carts on fire in my garage. Had the fire started a little later I would have been asleep. Had it started in the middle of the night, who would have been there to wake my family up? I could have lost all of them. I just don’t know what else to say. Please don’t risk your family’s lives with one of these ZONEs parked in your garage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAVOP2hBmzc http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?se...cal&id=8771276 http://www.click2houston.com/news/pa...-fire/21025000 |
