They removed a battery from a tesla and took it inside the house to charge it. This is more a Darwin Award thing than an electric vehicle thing. They make chargers to plug into a car. Did they try to hook it to a 12 volt battery charger?
It wasn’t even an electric car battery. It was a regular car battery. Most car batteries are AGM or lead acid. This one was a lithium battery. It actually should have been fine but most lithium batteries have some sort of circuitry between them and the charging system.
Yes. That’s “hold my beer” type stuff. I don’t put this under EV’s are dangerous at all.
thats the problem. they connected a 12 volt lithium battery to a regular battery charger..
that is a sure way to make the battery go boom.
this is the battery in the story. Not the huge high voltage one in the floor of the car.
