My previous post on the exploding lithium on a NiCD port I failed to
mention what it did to the traces and open chip legs - corroded the
crap out of them and it did indeed stink the hous eup but I always
leave my shop window open a crack since I have a habit of using a lot
of volatile chemicals for cleaning and such.
Did ya try a little baking soda on the board soon after the battery
exploded? I've never has to experience a lithium battery explosion, but
baking soda does tend to clean up well after other mild acidic accidents.
