The product, in the report: Residential Standby Generator
I had a Carrier 16 KW standby generator installed on January 3, 2008. It came with a Dura Power battery with the type and rating as specified in the Owner’s Manual. From date of installation until mid August 2011, it operated without any problem. On or about August 24, 2011, we heard a loud noise which sounded like something heavy had fallen to the floor from the end of our house in which the generator is located. We were unable to find the source of the noise at that time. On September 8, 2011, I was preparing to change the oil and filter in the engine when I discovered the source of the noise. The Dura Power battery had exploded!!!
I called the installer, Gentry Service and Repair, and when he did not respond, I replaced the battery myself with the type specified in Owner’s Manual. The installer did return my call three days later and I explained what had happened. I was shocked when he informed me that he had several other batteries to explod this year in the same type of equipment.
Due to the severe injury or death which could occur, this situation needs to be investigated promptly to identify the cause. It is unclear to me if it is a battery or equipment failure or both. Batteries will certainly have to be replaced over time but they don’t explode. It should be noted that the standby unit was in standby mode and was not generating.
