    Yep I still believe it's a safety issue driving around with a unsecured car battery in your tractor. Maybe law suite time. Some one call ooida

    Do they put out fumes while charging? Or is it a completely sealed unit?

    sealed. I didint notice anything at all.

    Moosc mentioned unsecured? Well , I'd rather it be on the floor between the seat and the cabinet rather than on the seat with the potential to go through the windsheild even if "strapped in" with the seat belt.

    I got a look at my TE's battery unit for his CPAP while out on his truck this last week. He refused to use it due to the fact that a charging battery not only emits toxic fumes it is also inherently dangerous. I don't blame him at all, and to me without a major examination it did not really looked sealed, at least not sealed in a way that would satisfy me. He said that they told him they would be removing his inverter soon. To me it seems like this will be a story that will make headlines later down that road followed by a class action lawsuit. I guess time will tell.

    Schneider seems like it is now in a race to make it to the very bottom of the bottom feeders. Soon CR England will be a better place to work than Schneider lol. Swift and Werner already are!

    Do they secure the battery so it won't fly around and smash you in the face if something happened? Or insulate the terminals so it won't start a fire? whats that smell?

    Sounds like they have it a canvas duffle bag. Securing it is up to

    they hand you the bag with batt and accessories in it. no installation done by them.

    I havnt read the manual to each peice yet but I will be paying close attention to the hazards and will most certainly be informing safety by email so I have an independent copy.

    Having said that, it does work.
