<VV> Battery Explosion

[Bill Hubbell]

Yes, but remember this is a show car and that was a factory stock reproduction battery which is harder to get and costs a lot more than your average off-the shelf battery.

I think 10 years on a battery sounds EXCESSIVELY FRUGAL. They should be changed periodically as preventative maintenance. I don't look for the cheapest priced battery either as they always seem to fail at the worst possible time (Murphy's Law). Glad you weren't hurt Bill. They are VERY dangerous.

4 year battery replacement is my rule of thumb
