How Long Can I Go On Stinking Batteries?

Went to the TA to take a pee, and while I was there, they changed my batteries.

 

Eggs. They not just for breakfast anymore.

 

You don't need no stinking batteries.

 

And they can blow your stinking head off also!
That stinking smell is hydrogen gas and one spark from a battery cable an KABOOM!!

 

Hydrogen sulfide, but yes, it can cause a kaboom. Toxic, flammable, and smells like ### to boot.

 

I smelt mine and knew it was the battery, but they're under six difficult bolts, so I kept going, about a week later I got to a terminal and one of them had about a six inch circle of side blown out. worked fine, and never dropped too low to start, but my throat really hurt for a week after. i used to burn a lot of holes in my clothes with sulfuric acid, so I wont be inspecting my lungs any time soon.

 

Dude. Just go get it taken care of, and don't fool with it. They are really easy to swap if the place is busy. Just get 4, and replace them all.

 

Are you absolutely, positively, certain that it's the batteries that stink and not the driver?
I used to team drive with my ex wife; she refused to shower, said we had to keep running.
Gawd that woman smelled like a barn animal.
I'm certain that she fouled up more than one engine with all that body odor.
