Re: rows of car batteries baking in the 48° heat
" They didn't spit during these toppings-up."
You've never topped up telephone exchange traction batteries (about 8-10 inches a side and 2-3 feet high - PER CELL - times 24 cells). They might not spit but splashback was always a worry. Goggles AND an apron thanks - acidwash jeans may have been fashionable but it's not a good idea to get the chemical in question on them whilst wearing them.
