Truck stinks bad

Sometimes the truck has a bad day with b.o.

 

It's a freightliner of course it stinks

 

You can find the bad battery easy enough, it will be warm to the touch, and usually the sides will be bowed out.

 

I am sure everyone knows but I'm going to say it in case someone doesn't.
That rotten egg smell from bad battery's is hydrogen gas one spark and kaboom!
Still picking shards off plastic out of the rafters off my shop from one that exploded about 20 years ago while it was on the battery charger......

 

I call BS on this.

 

HULLd is correct

"Hydrogen is not toxic, but at high concentrations is a highly explosive gas. The 100% LEL concentration for hydrogen is 4.0% by volume. At this concentration, all it takes is a source of ignition to cause an explosion. Sparking from a battery terminal as it is connected or disconnected from the charging system is more than adequate as a source of ignition energy. That’s why lead acid batteries should only be charged in well"

Hmmm I just read this about hydrogen sulfide, it makes me mad that my maintenance department didn't give me a solution when I told them about the rotten egg smell.

Aren't you going to apologize for calling BS?
