I think we need a few hard facts about this incident.

How many times was it repeaked trying to find some heat ?
What type of charger was being used ?
What was the peak cutout set at ?

I've heard a few stories in answer to these questions which throw a bit of doubt on the statement that started this thread.

QUOTE "The pack had only been chagred at 6 volts and with a heat sensor, the pack must have shorted out some way?" UNQUOTE

Presuming that should be 6 amps not volts - what temp was the "heat sensor" cut out set at ?

It's important that we have all the FACTS !
