Hello! Just picked up my vagabond today, thanks!
A question - I plugged it in to charge as instructed. I plugged it in inside. Air flow was low at the time, as doors and windows were closed. When other members of my family arrived home they could smell something a bit like 'rotton eggs'. I could not smell it, I presume as I was around while the smell was 'building'.
One of my family members who works around hazardous gases/confined spaces told me that lead acid batteries produce hydrogen gas while charging, though this also smelled slightly of sulfur (hydrogen sulfite?).
I was just wondering if there should be a notice to charge these units in a well ventilated space? I suppose Hydrogen by itself is highly volatile. Just thought I would check.
Thanks very much for the help,
Paul.
