I disconnected the pack, then as I was taking the battery out of the battery tray I heard a pop. I looked around and noticed the hard battery case broke right in my hand. I guess I'm lucky it didn't catch fire. Now I'm kinda worried because they're calling for 100 degree weather on Saturday. Do you suggest any precautions.
