so this morning i was woken by a large bang... i wondered what it was, then remembered i had a car battery on charge...

yes it had exploded, covering my hallway with acid... 2 hours and a lot of cleaning later the acid is all gone...

ok so theres a hole in the carpet, burn marks on the cieling, bits of wallpaper i had to tear off to save the wall underneath, holes in my jeans and skin missing from my fingers, and ive probably breathed in enough toxic fumes to drop a horse, but its all under control....

Glad you're OK. Suggest next time you raise battery above floor level,loosen caps... Oh well, you are OK now.

this battery was at the end of its life, nearly 5 years old, it was a high power one and it wasnt taking any of the charge... i should have realised then it was a bad idea to charge it...
