Re: (ET) Prius pack
A classic of EV cautionary tales :
http://www.evdl.org/pages/plasmaboy.html
The golf car batteries most of us use in our ETs aren't as vorpal as those
Hawker Genesis AGM batteries, but they're still capable of dumping over
40kW
into a short circuit. That's nearly as much power as a modern home's
electrical service is able to provide continuously. It can heat things up
FAST. Treat your batteries with respect (and well-insulated tools).
