[AT] Manual battery chargers for very dead batteries.

[Stephen Offiler]

The first time they get sued when somebody is injured by a battery that
explodes (overcharging generates hydrogen gas, as I'm sure you know) the
product liability lawyers step in.  That's how it works here in the USA,
again, as I'm sure you know.  It is a safe assumption for manufacturers to
make, and if I were in the business of building battery chargers it is most
certainly the design path I would follow.

So I disagree.  It is not an assumption that we are ALL too stupid.  It is
a solid, correct assumption that there is at least ONE person out there
that is too stupid.

SO
