Facts on some products.
Air compressors CAN explode. This happens when moisture forms inside the tank, causing rust, which causes weak walls in the tank. To prevent this happening, drain off the moisture often, and also avoid the release of large amounts of air at any given time which will prevent moisture accumulation.
If you use cordless drills, etc, never completely drain the batteries as this can cause a real problem with the battery over time, instead, recharge the drill, etc. when you notice that the drill is not running as well as it did with a total charge. This will extend the life of the batteries.
Your car battery wont discharge if you set it on concrete. But, back in the day, because of the construction of batteries when they first came out, you had to be very careful where you placed them. But with todays batteries, you dont have to worry about that any more.
