George....whats wrong is all this stuff is designed by engineers instead of mechanics If a mechanic had designed it...It would have had temperature sensors and the indicator lights would have been where you could see it instead of having to remove a cover.

Hardy, har, har. Sensors and indicator lights can, and do, malfunction. The nature of the beast. If a redundant system was in place, that would be a different story.

Anything built by man can malfunction.....but stuff thats built right seems to hold up longer and perform better.

Exactly, when unsure, unplug it. And, who's to know if it was built right. Or, if component price fluctuations was decided the assembler (not the manufacturer) to change components to a cheaper version due to the economics involved. Yours truly, just doesn't know for sure. Therefore, I'll unplug mine.

I am leaving mine plugged in....Have your batterys lasted over 7 years before? I have confidence in my equipment and set up. I have insurance too....no worries.

I won't leave mine plugged all the time. They are like pit bulls. I don't want to be the one to say , It never did anything like that before. Right after a kid was mauled and killed, or in this case a battery blew up. And by the way I worked on an electronic weapons control system on $50 million dollar jets. I do know electronics can fail sometimes. And I slept in a few express holiday inns. To each his own, these opinions are mine only, and now I'm a hillbilly not a cajun. HAHA

Lol....you guys do what you want to......but there is lots more serious things to worry about than a battery blowing up. If it was that bad we would be hearing about it all the time. Having been a technician for over 40 years....i have only seen two batterys blow up and they were both on cars and blew up key turned off and parked. It just dosent happen that much.
