Exploding Automotive BatteriesAuto batteries are usually of the Lead-Acid type and thus generate explosive gasses [Hydrogen (H2) and sometimes Hydrogen-sulphide (H2S?)]. These gasses accumulate in the head-space in the battery, and are emitted from the battery at the vent openings.

Any kind of spark which occurs inside the battery or in the explosive gas envelope outside but near the battery, can ignite the explosive gasses thus causing an explosion. Even a spark/explosion starting outside the battery can ignite the gasses inside the battery and cause the battery itself to explode.

In your case, with only 3K miles on the battery [for all practical purposes a brand new battery] I suspect that an internal flaw/fault due to a manufacturing defect or defective materials led to/caused the ignition.

All of this is based on the assumption that you, or no one else, tampered with, misused, or abused the battery during that 3K miles.

Without an exhaustive examination/investigation of the remains of the battery it is not possible to determine the actual fault/flaw causing the failure.

How can you downgrade your PSP version 6.00?

I really don't know. All I know after many searching the only way to do that is Pandora battries. I don't want to do this Pasndora battries thing. Answer 2: If its a PSP 3000, then the only way you be able to downgrade is if you ship it in to the Pandora battery company and let them downgrade it to 5.02 or sell your PSP 3000 for a PSP 2000 or 1000 and buy a Pandora Battery Pandora battery is used to go into recovery mode every time you power up the PSP. It does not screw up your PSP.


Can you use an rcl 3000 lamp with a dead battery by plugging it into the wall?

No, the RCL 3000 lamp requires a functioning battery to operate as it is a rechargeable lamp. Plugging it into the wall without a working battery will not power the lamp. The battery acts as a power source for the lamp, and without it, the lamp will not function even when plugged into an electrical outlet.
