Unfortunately, I have been the cause of one of those in pit battery blow ups....

Got some cells from a fellow racer and proceeded to charge them. Well, my mistake was to not discharge before charging. Ironically, I was in the middle of a race on the stand when it all went down. About half way through the race....KABOOM!!!!!! I couldn't believe it was my pit!!!

Two lessons learned...

1. ALWAYS DISCHARGE BEFORE CHARGING.

2. Don't run too many classes on a weekday club race. Concentrate on one class to not rush myself....

Thankfully, only damage was a little pride hurt and a heck of a mess to clean up...
