Both of my inflatible life jackets "blew up", when I left them in the back seat of my truck. I know they didn't get wet, so what is it, the heat, that makes them do that?
That's gonna cost!

Yep, I’ve had several go off due to the heat

Dang, mine is currently in the back seat of my truck......
$35 for two new cartridges... Only good news is that they were probably close to expiring anyway!
Heat/humidity will certainly set them off. At least you didn't have them crammed in your boat storage compartment, like a friend of mine did. His went off, and as it so happened he had it laying on top of a jam packed storage compartment, and it busted the compartment lid right in half. :yikes :Doh: He not only had to replace the cartridge system on the vest, but had to get a replacement lid for his boat !!
Probably the humidity. If those little salt blocks get damp....kaboom

Mine went off behind me while I was fishing and I was alone. Scared the dookie out of me.

My newly recharged vest went off on my console dash this AM. Scared the crap out of me and my clients. The humidity was 1000% and the fog was so thick and wet early it ran off my windshield. I guess any question I had of it working properly are gone. BTW, the recharge kit I had in the boat expires in 3 months so I guess it's just as well. Now I have to buy a new recharge kit PLUS a spare.
I have had mine inflate a couple times when I left them in a compartment in the boat. I started putting them in the garage when I get home. Dang that reminds me! :Doh:
