[RE-wrenches] battery venting

[Tom Duffy]

Hi Jay

I have never seen a battery enclosure explode, but I have seen individual batteries explode, always in a multiple parallel string configuration (4 strings or more) 

Kind regards

Hi All,

We've been having this discussion about battery box explosions.

I would like a show of hands who has actually seen or truly known of a battery enclosure that has exploded due to hydrogen gas build up.
And some specifics about that occurrence if possible.



Thanks,

Jay
