My Battery Exploded!
My 08 Precident had been sitting a month and my wife jumped on it and tried to take her for a spin. Well, she didn't get far! I had to tow it home. Yes, I flipped the tow/run switch. Water was down to the top of the plates so I added a little distilled to just cover the plates. Put it on the Power Drive 2 charger. It charged for about 10 mins and as I was in the house I heard a loud explosion outside! I knew right away it was a battery. These are about 1 1/2 year old US Batteries. All the connections are clean and tight. Must have been something inside the battery??? Don't know if I should just replace the battery? Cables? Not really sure? I hope my OBC and controller are okay. What are y'alls thoughts?

Re: My Battery Exploded!
Could be a bad cell in the battery. Full of hydrogen and a spark are bad things..

Re: My Battery Exploded!
Y'all think I should just replace the battery and check things from there?

Re: My Battery Exploded!
Was there a fire with this explosion? Or did the battery pop like a balloon with no fire?

Re: My Battery Exploded!
One correction, pulled the battery this morning and it has a date code of F 1 so they were 3 years old in June! Where does the time go???

Re: My Battery Exploded!
If you are still thinking about replacing one bad battery (even though the pack is 3 years old) - the only way to keep the old ones from killing a new battery - is THIS interesting device invented/created by Sergio. Read his outline closely and decide if you want to try it. Three years is pushing it - but that will certainly give his passive battery device a tough test!
