Cover those Batteries!

As one who has experienced a battery explosion, I strongly recommend battery boxes with securely fastened covers. The gasses generated from charging storage batteries are potentially very explosive and can be ignited by an internal or external source causing the top to violently blow off and send pieces hundreds of feet. The sound is deafening, with acid splattered everywhere and raining down on everything creating a burning choking vapor in the air. Not pretty!
