Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Well while I was grinding some 1.5mm gal plate for the back cover heard a bang and found some black plastic close to my foot, couldn't see what it was so just kept going and the sparks were no near the battery either.

Just did a voltage check and the battery is still holding voltage so that is a good sign

Now there is another battery where the lid is raised and I can't really complain as I did get this battery free back in 2012

Now I do think with this build some Ceil 1000AH cells may be needed to replace this battery. I will stay on 24 volts too as can't see the justification of spending all that money just to go on 48 volts.

That's a bit nasty Bryan and I'm glad they didn't all go off.

I'm in a facebook group of forklift battery users and one of the guys had his blow up ... and he successfully stuck them all back together again using hot glue. Some were cracked down the sides and glue even sealed them too.

Also a reminder for me to not be too casual around mine. I keep a fan running over them while they are charging but I also need to be aware of not creating sparks with charging leads etc.

Cheers, Roger
