Bingo. My solar powered repeater developed charging issues, and when I went to check, it was due to corrosion on the homebrew charge controller's PC board.

It is usually from gasoline vapors or leaking propane. The plastic battery box is a corrosion / spill containment issue. . You add to this that hydrogen rises very quickly as it is much lighter than air and you ask the question how much gas would stay in an enclosed area ? My guess is little to none. --- On Mon, 11/30/09, TGundo 2003 <[email protected]> wrote:30, 2009, 3:35 PM Thanks to everyone for the feedback so far!
