[Shop-talk] battery exploded ???

[Al Fuller]

What is it connected to? Diesel motor? Other? Any recent changes to the
systems? Any evidence of damage from environmental, insects or animals?

I am a jinx when it comes to generators and so have participated in the
aftermath of many failures. In the past 20+ years every single time a
client had a power failure the generator system failed to power the
building. In every case the generator was started up monthly...
