I would like the scientific advice of those on the
list with more chemical knowledge than me.
At 1AM this mornging the CO detector downstairs sent off a warning,
it was at 100. The CO detector upstairs read 34.
My wife called the fire department who came out and read 30 down stairs
after the doors where open. We went in the garage and he read 150 max.
What was in the garage? The TEVan that topped off on a long charge with
batteries bubbling for a while. I don't believe it overcharged, but I
can't say for sure that all batteries are topped off with water (I need
to drop the pack to verify this).
So, why in the heck would the NiCd batteries set off my CO detectors?
Talk about embarrasing, having your EV set off the CO detector. I had
no explanation, but I sure would like one to calm my wife's nerves and
I'm sure her father who lives up the street and is the retired fire
chief if Akron!!!!
Thanks,
Rod
