scary find in the shop today
I was cleaning up and look down and find this battery carrier had melted down, I kept this around to use during set up and I guess apparently lat time I unplugged it from the switch the wires pulled away from the plug. When I picked it up it was cold, but wet with condensation.. Kinda freaked me out.
Scary thing is I can't remember how long it's been sitting this way, no obvious arcing or burns at the leads, and each cell is over 1.3 volts, low but not dead. I'm dumbfounded that it could melt down the carrier but the cells still have voltage.
Just shows, need to take caution with all chemistries
