I just fired up my laptop and heard an odd hissing noise. After
checking the exhaust fan, drive etc, I realised that the sound was
coming from the battery. Putting my ear against it confirmed it. I
then realised I had my face pressed against a hissing battery...
The laptop appears to be overcharging the NiMH battery, and I guess
that means it was venting hydrogen. Scary.
I'm not sure there was a point to this post, it's just weird, and a
little scary.
