Did the same to my fishing trolley battery still going strong 18 months on.

but I will admit I have changed the alarm battery due to the risk

I still cant recommend it ever, but at least with your trolley youll know when it no longer works or is getting worse,

also if it suddenly fails the worst is you'll have to push. Its also not being constantly charged, or at least, if it was playing up

youd be unlikely to plug it in.

 

Of course with the alarm battery there is very little indication of its charge or capacity, and you won't find out until its too late!

I know I said catch fire , but y you wanna torch it? Should be in messed up joke section 

lol wall mounted Olympic torch

Just messing about in the garage and decided what to do with the battery I'm going to turn it into a power pack to run some Christmas lights which I have wound round a 11mt fishing rod which is attached to the jockey wheel of my caravan then when I'm pissed coming out of the club I can find my way home instead of knocking on someone else's caravan trying to get in

get away. If you have a caravan there is no one in there to let you in ....
