How to Know If It Is Only A Battery Problem

[glenn manikis]

it is not a myth that hydrogen gas comes out of the battery vents if you are charging a battery. similar to charging, jump starting a vehicle, the weak battery produces hydrogen gas. there is always that risk. that is why the battery top warns you not to smoke, have an open flame and avoid sparks when connecting or disconnecting a battery. i once had a co worker in a construction company who was charging about thirty 7D batteries for heavy equipment who was a smoker. he would check batteries charging with a lit cigarette between his fingers. i told him about the risk. and he would brag that he had been doing this for decades. one lucky day, two batteries being charged exploded because of his lit up cigarette. he was lucky enough only two batteries exploded. he came running out of the shop screaming in pain from the cuts he sustained from the battery casings and the acid on his face. accidents are avoidable specially if you the risks. experience has it, batteries do explode when they are gassing and there is a source of ignition or spark. that co worker has since passed away, rest his soul but the lesson i learned from his indifferent mistake lives on

sir tanong lang po..

it means ba kahit alternator charging lang can cause this?

hindi po ba constantly nag charge ang battery natin when the car is running?

paano nalang po yung ibang sasakyan na nasa loob ng sasakyan ang battery?

it's one thing to be careful and it's another thing to be OA

sa sobra dami mo iniisip that can go wrong halos hindi ka na kikilos

para safe ka pwede ka mag suot ng hazmat suit... just to jumper-cable a tiny 1sm battery to another tiny 1sm battery

Ano na ang nangyari, nasa theory ng jumper cable parin ba?

[uls]

pinag uusapan pa nila kung alin ang mauna.... kung live car o dead car... kung positive o negative

tapos may concern ngayon baka sumabog ang maliit na 1sm battery dahil sa hydrogen

kaya wala pa nangyayari

Naloko na, ginawa ng science ang napaka simpleng red at black wires.

Sasabog ang 1sm battery dahil sa hydrogen? Seriously?!?

in theory yes coz a charging battery would produce hydrogen fumes that could ignite

pero kung dead battery yan and you jumper-cable it to a live 1sm battery of a another car... in those few minutes of being connected gaano kadami hydrogen fumes and ma--produce niyan?

buti sana kung kinabit mo sa battery charger and let it charge for many hours... kung ganyan maamoy mo talaga yung kumukulo na battery acid

pero jumper lang yan... tapos takot ka baka sumabog ang battery dahil sa hydrogen? grabe OA na yan

basta huwag lang mabaligtad o magdikit ang pag jumper mo di ka ma-o-ospital

In theory indeed, but like what you said this is just a 1sm battery and you're just going to jump it. Unless they don't understand the concept of jumping a car, which is highly unlikely.

and most 1sm car batteries are like this:



so how much hydrogen can vent out from a battery like that habang naka jumper?
