For those who didn't see my post from last night, I had a golf cart battery blow the top off when I turned on the charger. I was far enough away I didn't get hurt, but my ears were ringing all night. Sounded about like a shotgun blast next to your ear, amazing how loud it was.
Anyway, I got them all out and the cart cleaned up but I'm curious what I should do with the bad battery. It's currently sitting on the ground far from anything and it's bubbling some still. Not sure if I should just dump it out and if so where? Suggestions?
Also wondering if I get the acid and water out if the scrap man will accept it or not. Don't really want it laying around here in the way, and I'm pretty sure the battery man won't take it in exchange for new batteries.
