Batteries not included

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

So it would seem i too have succumbed to the fiery ball of death associated with laptop Lithium ION batteries. Tonight i wandered into my study to the smell of chemical burning – after a lot of wondering and worrying i eventually figured out it was the battery from the laptop whic is my Car-PC (currently in my study as i’m re-writing the software – a bigger post coming on that later)

I extracted the battery and placed it safely outside in my yard, then i set about neutralising the acid left on the laptop chassis and docking station. Pictures attached…

Just what i needed of an evening.
