Speaking of dangerous, have you ever been around a battery that exploded?
I was just last week. My neighbor needed a tow from the mail box because his ELECTRIC cart died. Before we started to tow it he decided to try one more time. Good thing the seat was down, because when he hit the pedal a shotgun blast went off. The top of the battery blew completley off and acid was everywhere. By some dumb luck neither of us got hurt and it didn't catch fire. BTW, how many Villages homes have burned down from electric cart fires? Seems like every year there's one or two.
