[Mgs] Exploding batteries

[Paul Hunt]

Indeed.  And that BMW with the battery in the boot/trunk should have had a 
vent pipe to the outside anyway to prevent gases building up in an enclosed 
space.  Which is why I keep recommending against those 'battery boxes' for 
MGBs being used to hold batteries rather than as an extra storage bin when 
converting from twin 6v to single 12v which is what they were originally 
intended for.

Good reminder. With "sealed" batteries, we tend to get sloppy without
remembering that so called sealed batteries still have vents.
