Evening all, On the weekend I thought that I would charge up the second battery(deep cycle) using the Projecta charger. This is the low input version (2.5 amps) hooked up the charger and had the bonnet adjar(spelling). It turns out that the bonnet actually closed further during the day. The result was a short circuit of the battery (the aligator clips touched the the material lining the bonnet and must have also touched the bonnet itself. The material caught on fire or smolded. The battery is RS and the bonnet is up for a new paint job.
Just a reminder to keep the bonnet up when charging batteries and make sure it can't close.

Regards

Mark
