I quite agree. That's why my battery is bolted to a very reliable V8 diesel engine which very rarely explodes. Lead acid are shit for many reasons. The only reason they are still in use is they were traditionally cheaper than lithium, so they are used for OAP buggies and the like where the manufacturer scrimps on quality of parts.
Eventually your exploding battery paranoia will disappear and you too will be using a modern battery.
Cheeky bitch. My car is not an OAP buggy. And I think you may find people's fears over exploding EV batteries are backed up by reality, not paranoia. Google 'Electric car goes up in flames', hundreds of links to peruse.

Google 'Electric car goes up in flames', hundreds of links to peruse. The press are totally thick when it comes to technology. You can buy lithium batteries to replace the lead acid ones in standard cars. They are much lighter for a start and will need less maintenance and should perform well in cold weather. The problem with exploding batteries is often they are charged incorrectly. In fact what they do for car batteries is they incorporate the charging circuit in the battery to make sure the charging is correct.

You mean like the modern Chinese ones in the other thread.

Cars do explode and aeroplanes do drop out of the sky, but we still use them.

Litheum batteries are not worth a wank and are the major cause of fires in BEV's. Why use a potential bomb to fire up an ICE.

If you really think that most people think in a binary fashion then it’s not the proles that are a dumb fuck . I'm sick of people linking me to this bullshit. It's like with China. I try and have a sensible conversation and I just get spammed with scare stories that are often bullshit. The fact is I don't write the crap that is printed in the MSM and so why should I have to debunk it all the time. If you are that stupid you get taken in by it then I'm just going to have to leave your brain to fry. I have already explained on here more than once about car batteries. If you keep on forgetting then what can I do. It just ends up as a pointless thread. The damn country will fuck up if it listens to the stupid press. It will become poor, decrepit and backwards.

You linked yourself by claiming most people are stupid . The real world works like this ..if enough EVs go up in flames then people will be put off from buying them . It doesn’t matter how much a self proclaimed superior intellect tells them not to. Dint shoot the messenger.

Fear and alarm lowers your IQ so you become stupid, and what is more is the fuckwits who write the Daily Mail know nothing about how the world operates. They live in some sort of clown world of liars and celebs.
Batteries is something I have a reasonable understanding of. I have spent a fair bit of time studying the research and I'm trying to give you lot an honest view. If you think the MSM are more accurate then you are of course free to think it, but from my experiences of regular readers of such papers they are as thick as shit, where the audience of the stuff I tend to watch are often experts. You see I'm one of these science geeks.
