datrod Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 You said "cunt"ry :lol: Well guess there is no production in that place for the next while. Hope your shop sustained no damage It was in the next row over from my shop. So all I got was all the mess out in front of my place. And I think you guys are right there is more to the story. I have left mine on many times and never had any issues. Plus the guy was a pack rat. There was so much shit in that place you could not walk from one end to the other without tripping over something. He must have had 300 plus tires in there and ya know how well they burn. :lol: And I just found out today that some dude was living in the shop. Not good... If the insurance guy finds out. Not zoned for living space, So who knows. Quote Link to comment
blue72 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Perhaps the guy that left the charger on overnight didn't realize that there's a difference between a battery "charger" and a battery "tender". Quote Link to comment
wildmaninid Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 When I worked at spaldings in spokane, they would charge and sell the good batteries, and there was an old bread van body that was setup to gang charge about 100 batteries at a time, every onve and a while it would get left on over Saturday into Monday morning, and you could smell the fumes from 1/4 mile away. Now the scary part? Mostly it will just cook the liquid out of a battery, sometimes they buest, but not much will happen unless a spark or flame actually ignites the fumes let off from charging....so one time years ago a careless yard guy came in early and was torching a frame too close to the battery box that was left on over the weekend.....kabooom. wonder if the guy living there lit up a smoke or a bbq or something?

ripetomatoes Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 damn. thats insane, wonder what could have cause the spark? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 A cigarette from the guy living there illegally. In fact it's more likely it's the guy living there that's the cause. The charger is just convenient. Quote Link to comment
