Default Exploded NiCd Batteries


wrote:

While attempting a home-charge of a set of NiCd batteries, they were
left unattended and consequently exploded (relatively high current was
flowing through them). The basement area in which the explosion took
place is currently being ventilated overnight.

Does anyone have any recommendations for further safety precautions or
clean-up procedures?

You may find that info on a NiCd batery manufacturer's site.

You could also check Wikipedia for the chemistry used in the battery.
