[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 442463, member: 22989"] Gas tanks too, and Im not sure if people understand or simply underestimate the explosion risk. We had a guy take a cushman buggy off of charge at work who didnt understand how hydrogen can build up in a compartment when a battery is being charged or used, who blew up both batteries and sent the seat flying while trying to weld a part to the outer frame. This was on a vehicle where the enclosure was not even sealed, had lots of venting and a avenue for the explosion to vent fairly safely. From across the shop it sounded like a bomb went off and I looked over to see my two co workers in shock, a bunch of smoke and the 5lb seat landing on the floor 10' away. The guy helping the guy weld got hit by the seat but wasn't hurt, the guy welding got some flash burns removing arm hair and hurting his ears and pride. This blew the tops clean off of the batteries which spilled/splashed acid and this was not a sealed enclosure. Some of the boxes Ive seen in the build threads are literally bombs in the making. Just some food for thought. [/QUOTE]
