Current lead acid batteries can do this as well. Smells awful and pretty unsafe situation. H2S is quite dangerous but it’s rare that they’d create an IDLH situation as long as there’s a bit of breeze.
- kragen 3y agoi'd be surprised if lead-acid batteries produce detectable quantities of hydrogen sulfide; isn't their sulfur bound up in an extremely stable oxoanion? still, https://web.archive.org/web/20161005164308/http://www.wesh.com/news/medical-examiner-confirms-suspected-cause-of-deaths-in-turnpike-mystery/41939954 https://web.archive.org/web/20161005164308/http://www.wesh.c... certainly doesn't sound like sulfuric acid
- akira2501 3y agoI've discovered damaged lead acid batteries in equipment by following the rotten egg smell back to it's source. Twice, both small current 12V DC batteries.
- extraduder_ire 3y agoHumans are _very_ sensitive to the smell of H2S. Unless you meant that it might produce enough to kill your sense of smell, which is possible.
- kragen 3y agono, i meant i don't understand how you get from sulfate to prussiate at room temperature
- ttymck 3y agoYes this was my initial reaction: what if a tesla battery comes in contact with water? What degree of "more dangerous" are we talking about?
