charging wheelchair batteries outdoors

by jrand45@[EMAIL PROTECTED] Aug 28, 2008 at 01:35 PM

OK, I use a "mobility scooter" to get around.  (Ya' know... those
scooters old people use?

Anyway, I'm moving from the city to the country, and the problem
is...  I need to charge the scooter's batteries overnight.  There's no
garage so we're gonna use a shed in the backyard.  Well, it gets
pretty cold in the winter, and that's very bad for the batteries!  So
I need to heat the shed somehow but when you charge batteries,
hydrogen is produced.  I probably need vents near the roof of the shed
but I'm not sure how much ventilation.  I donno what kind of heater is
safe for this job.  How do I monitor things in the shed?  I hear that
13 percent hydrogen in the air of an enclosed space will go BOOM!  Can
anybody tell me how to do this safely?

This is a very large scooter, with 2 "group 27" deep cycle sealed gel
cell batteries. I really need help with this!

Thanx in advance for any information......!  :)
