There is an email going around that states a KY business man left his Garmin GPS in his company truck, still connect to vehicle electrical system and it was suspected the battery exploded because the outside temperature was 100 degrees. Have problem with the story because it indicates this happened in February 2012 (days are shorter and temperatures are lower during this time period). Can you please comment on the validity of the incident?
