Could be - although most wouldn't connect a charger to a battery which
is already gassing.


Er - I doubt many people would be aware that it's even explosive.


My feeling is the risks are vastly over stated. The one explosion I know
of personally was in a garage battery charging room many years ago where a
mechanic - who should have known better - disconnected a battery still on
charge and the spark caused a bang. It was an old poorly ventilated area -
wouldn't be allowed these days.
