Not good.
Lithium ion Battery blew up. Had to put it out with a fire extinguisher. Afterwards I talked to @blacksheep-1 and he told me how to clean it up and that if I didn't everything would corrode within hours....including the paint....and you know I couldn't have thaaat.....so 6 hours later I'm beat and going home. Lets see what I missed in the morning.
Not simple. You might be able to snake around between all these tubes but I can not. I had to call for help. @Frank.JD.Perez to the rescue!Glad you have a simple to clean interior!! Like the bean stool......
I'm pretty sure it was self inflicted....I was letting the water pump run to purge out the bubbles and got side tracked with customers and ran the battery dead, so I jumped it and got the car started and let the alternator charge the battery at idle....apparently rapid discharge got the battery very hot and then charging it immediately afterwards was more that it could handle. I kept saying to myself...."Why do I smell plastic? There no plastic burning anywhere is there....?....is somebody gluing something? How come I smell...." BOOM!And Li-ion battery instantly comes off the potential mod list! Was on the fence about it but that kind of seals the deal.
I need to put a light on my battery switch, I keep leaving it on and killing the battery.I have read the Li-ion batteries do have a high risk of explosion if ran completely dead. Also recently had an electrical engineer heavily emphasize this to me on a design project where we use Li-ion batteries.
see post #1863What happened?
Did the battery short out and/or an electrical fire?
Hope you are ok.
They are great batteries, we just learned what you can’t do with them.Shiznit!! Thats not good.... Lithium battery is off my xmas list. I remember Blacksheep-1s rule #7893.... about using water based fire extinguishers. Hope you don't have too much damage!!
Simple rule. Use with Watts Link!!I remember Blacksheep-1s rule #7893.... about using water based fire extinguishers
