Did you read what I wrote?. I did not remove any of the heat sensors on the heatsinks or otherwise....just the one on the bottom of the battery. I did not remove any of the "two hour fire protection" or whatever? you imagine.
I read exactly what you wrote, did you READ what you wrote?
What you removed is the fire protection... Simple. In the event of a fire it's all over. This is protection leading up to the fire, not after the fact. You missed the point. YOU will probably never have the problem. I hope NOT.
As an old wore out heavy EQ mechanic. I stay out of trouble, I DON'T GET OUT OF TROUBLE...BUT I've helped many that have "been in the business since the late 70s".
I never J walk, EVER! Most traffic/pedestrian deaths in the WORLD are attributed to J WALKING. and NOT paying attention to the SIGNS...
"Do Not remove" is one of those signs.. READ!! The heat sensor is just that, a heat sensor, it only provides a signal to, shut down, cool down, or restart. It offers no physical protection. These batteries are very toxic when burning.VERY!!!
I trust what I do. I have been in this business since the late 70s.
WHAT BUSINESS??? You mean tinkering with stereo gear? Playing
with STUFF? In the business implies you have been properly trained.
Rule # 1 Safety First
Rule # 2 Safety Second
Rule # 3 refer back to rules 1 & 2
I started with MONO, 16rmp 78rpm then 33s, how long ago is that? LONG TIME mate.
The protection is for your neighbor NOT YOU, obviously.
"The business" when it comes to electrical it's simple, don't trust anyone or anything, check check check... and then recheck...
The unit as it stands, with its top and sides and bottom off....sitting up off the floor on pieces of wood (so air circulates around the bottom of the battery).
WOW, so you remove the fire protection, add a little kindling (on wood) an extra supply of O2 and "it never gets hot", WOW, I mean WOW.
This is the epitome of , "EXACTLY WHAT NOT TO DO"
Why did you remove it to begin with? REALLY WHY? Was it running hot?
Shutting down? WHY? If there was no problem, running cool enough, ect why remove it, You crack me up. Mechanics nightmare for sure...
I remember when I was a kid 1958-60, my father comes home with pictures of a single engine jet fighter, I can't remember the model, F86-100 era, USAF MMAG group (military maintenance advisory group). The nose on the aircraft was gone, GONE. a single nicad battery failed. BOOM!!!! More damage than in actual combat and landed. yup yup...
He was amazed it landed, and no injuries.
As far as the "divine mother", I'll stick with the "Divine Father", though gender neutral. LOL
Still a cool Idea, just be safe everyone. It's not ok to remove any protection on ANY type of battery. It is there for you , and YOUR NEIGHBORS.
Respectfully and with regards, I bid you adieu...
