Re: ACRX goes down to 27 Optimas



Yes, of course nobody wants to, so we need to find out overcharge 
safety data.

Regarding the blast danger, every day millions of people travel
with a tank of very explosive stuff under their butts and don't
seem to mind. An effect of a spark in the 3/4 empty gas tank full 
of gas wapors will take out more than one cabin around the car and
will be heard many miles away ...

It's how you set your mind. Perception is if everyone does it, and
you never heard of such explosion, it's safe. Well, the same with
batteries - millions LiIon cell phones charged every day, so it's
safe.

Of course, charge menagement systems make sensitive LiIon batteries
safe, but perception is different, like in case of gas tank in which
conductive lamination in the partitions preventing sloshing around
and collect static charge makes tank safe, not the property of gas
and its wapors.

Very few, while filling a tank, would think about it.
