Pop goes the battery

July 23rd, 2009 VanGuard No comments

Today I bought a RayVac usb battery charger. It came with two batteries but I thought I had proper batteries. So I slide two batteries in and an hour later I hear a hissing sound. I just looking around wondering where it is coming from then I smell something foul. I hear a loud pop and look down at the battery charger and liquid is pouring out of it. I was able to pull the charger out and get the batteries out putting them on my table beside me. Leaving a small brown spot where the batteries were. Thankfully myself, my computer or charger was not harmed.

This is no fault of the charger but my stupidity of putting in the wrong type of batteries. Next time I shall get the right batteries.

Every once in a while I find some really good future tech that interests me. I believe these blocks have the potential to be great. Do not take my word for it, watch the video and see for yourself.
