Screwtape

This is a bit like the conversations around the use of the Olympian Wave heaters. Some folks feel very strongly about the potential for dangerous situations, others argue that it doesn't take much ventilation to make the dangers negligible.
I know batteries can cause small explosions from hydrogen, I've heard of flashlights doing it, but I'm not worried about it. My old Miata had a fire in the trunk from a failed battery and it was a sealed battery, I don't know exactly what happened to cause the fire, but I put the fire out with my buddies shirt and now I always carry an extinguisher.
My point is that I'm relatively certain, with the precautions I've taken, everything will be ok. Thank you for your concern.
I do like the plastic tray idea to protect from corrosive spills.
