Oreilly Auto Parts Car Battery Fire!? - truck fire extinguisher
Has anyone had problems with car batteries purchased Oreilly Auto Parts? Manufactured by East Penn. He bought a battery of 6 years 10 months, no problems until 9/11/07. He drove the car to work, parked, as usual, 30 minutes later, a colleague saw smoke from the chapel. Another colleague quickly extinguished the fire with a fire extinguisher chemical, save my truck and probably others parked nearby. Long story short, the company sent an investigator on fire drums, which led the cause of the fire was the battery, and East Penn has declared himself ready damages, which were moderate pay, all in all. A local mechanic also looked up and said he had "a lot" wrong Oreilly / East Penn Battery recent years, particularly with the model, which I bought with the cry goes completely dead shortly after the purchase, because the internal circuit He and arson investigators, the fire would have caused. It is a potentially fatal, and wondered if the others have had similar problems?

It seems that you must use a different battery. Let stand for the damages and insist on another brand of battery or credit for a non-place of the same brand.
Usually, the cause of a fire in the battery's are low electrolyte into the battery. If your battery has caps on the stack, then you should check the water level is too "inside". If it is low enough to the plates in the battery can lead to putting a spark in the battery themselves. During normal use, causing the life of the battery life, performance and number of cycles of hydrogen and oxygen into water in the electrolyte to separate. Hydrogen is flammable at the site of the explosion. Only a small spark to ignite the hydrogen to explode, the actual causes of the battery. Always check the battery's charge level at every oil change, or every 3 months.
I have a friend who no longer use his left eye, because he wanted to check the liquid level of the battery before recharge a battery. He turned to explode in the charger and the battery.
