Garage burned up, unplug your charges!
Saturday my garage burned up because a battery charger overheated, I lost a lifetime of hunting gear, everything, not to mention all my tools and special family items that was upstairs! my house only suffered smoke damage.
Reason I'm sharing the is to tell you, do not leave chargers plugged in after the battery is fully charged, this was a battery tender o my golf cart. The fire only burned an hour until the fire department put it out.
UNPLUG YOUR CHARGER!
Thank God it wasn't at night or it wouldn't have been noticed.
Now we will see if Nation wide is on my side
