not in working battery, not in any percentage. I never have seen a car battery explode and there are sparks all around.

But there's loads of ventilation. In a normal situation with everything working properly that's a safe environment. A car battery can explode under the hood if the charging system malfunctions. Or, as one person in my home town found out several years ago. He had a battery charger hooked to his battery with the caps off, as recommended when doing that, and bent over the battery with a lit cigarette in his mouth to look at the water level in the cells. The next thing he new he woke up in the hospital almost without a face. Massive sulphuric acid and flash burns over his entire head. He was lucky to be alive. -- “Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century.” - Joan Rivers _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
