So I toss a battery back into my Turbo Hammer last night and turn it on. No power. So I flip it back over open the door and and a lil plume of smoke billows out and the plastic wrapping curls up. I hurry and flip it over to hurry and pop the battery out as I am terrified that I jus smoked my Turbo Hammer. The battery had heated up so fast that when I turned it over the soldier had come undone and the battery fell to the floor and started sputtering and hissing. The battery had gotten so hot you could lick your finger, stick it to it & it would sizzle. So I quickly grabbed it with a towel and tossed it in a container of water and then burst in the container.
The only thing I can think is that the wire casing had worn thru to the point where the wires could touch and cooked the battery.
The good thing is my Turbo Hammer came out unscathed
