All

Can one of you wise folk point me towards a video of a battery exploding?
Want to demonstrate to people what can happen when metal is dropped on a fork lift battery ( or any other large battery come to that ). Trying to get people to see that batteries must be stored in the agreed "safe" locations and not just left laying around.

Little Nino has gamely come forward and volunteered to do a "real life" demo but I am not sure I should put him to risk ( he is also after another pay rise ).

regards

El Nino
