Re: (ET) battery gases

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

I actually don't think that I'd take the caps off.  If I did, I'd put them 
back on before starting the grinder.  I might even plug the filler holes 
with something more solid.

I'd definitely make sure the battery was off charge for a week or so 
before 
tackling this.  If possible, burp it a few times (bump or jostle it) to 
release trapped gas bubbles.

I'd also recommend that you get out a big fan, aim it at the battery box, 
and let it ventilate things thoroughly for a few minutes before starting.  

A possible non-sparky solution, if you can get enough clearance to use it:
