Re: Carbon Monoxide HELP!
Sounds like they need a refresher course. False positives are a thing. I had 90 employees in my last job, and training them was top of the list of priorities. Had two contractors fail to charge their detectors over the weekend, and chose to enter a 5 mile long 72" steel pipe to weld. Failed to carry detectors, failed to turn on ventilation, lit a cigarette and both died within days, in a medically induced coma. Lost one employee in a confined space. No gasses, but oxygen deficient atmosphere.

Re: Carbon Monoxide HELP!
Will that stale odor go away? How long before it stops?

Re: Carbon Monoxide HELP!
Happens in my garage all the time. A couple hours after charging maybe. I would not describe it as "stale." Sounds like you may have a mold/mildew problem in that basement. "Laundry that got left in the washer for a few days..." That is a moldy, mildew smell. What part of the country are you in?

Re: Carbon Monoxide HELP!
Did you have a home inspection before you bought?

Re: Carbon Monoxide HELP!
Yeah. Brand new construction home. As soon as I unplugged the cart and aired out the basement the stank went away.
We also have a professionally installed whole home dehumidifier that keeps moisture at 50% in the basement. It has a outlet hose that runs out to a flower bed. It’s definitely not mold. My description of the smell is probably bad, but the dealer came and got the cart today and it had been unplugged since the fire department was out here yesterday. Since it’s been unplugged that smell is gone but it was not a good smell lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Does the smell ever go away completely? Do your batteries have a film on the top of them from the water boiling over when charging? It wasn’t wet with standing water but definitely could see there was some liquid on top of the batteries. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

No worries. I didn’t think you were being argumentative. I can say for sure the smell is gone once the cart was unplugged and the basement aired out. It’s my own fault for not doing just a little bit more research. The dealer told me today when I spoke to them that the smell is normal. I can fit the cart in my garage if needed, it’s just a lot more convenient having the cart in the basement :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
