I have seen on this forum of people complaining about using them in some cars as it takes too long to get the battery in and out, but take the time to think about those around you, because it can happen.

A very timely post Beth ... May I also remind people to not fall into a false sense of security with NiMh also as these can and do go up in flames or worse explode... We had one short in the shop a few years back the wooden Ply Cupboard opposite the work bench still has the shrapnel marks to prove it.. Yes that was not a typo SHRAPNEL!!

Above all as I have always advised customers and friends alike under no circumstance ever leave any type of battery or charger unattended at any time under any circumstance...
