Quadra 660av...chassis under the logic board is completely rusted through, and the PDS-to-NuBus adapter was destroyed.

There’s your reminder that it’s not just maxells… that appears to be some aftermarket battery, I don’t recognize the brand as one Apple used, but you can see that it’s gone off just as bad.

Add that to the "checking the smoke / CO2 detectors" list every three months. Not a bad idea.

User induced gore since I was curious what was inside of these square batteries.

But it didn't leak, right? I've not seen the Rayovac batteries spill their guts all over the place like the Maxell's so often do in SEs or SE/30s.

Nope it didn't leak.

They can and will, it just seems to take a severe leak for damage to be caused. They're certainly better than the 1/2AAs, but they can't be trusted and still should be removed. I've heard multiple cases of people losing LC 575 boards to those batteries.
