Hi Zuts,
I'm an electronics technician.
It's better to treat all batteries with respect.
Don't charge batteries near anything combustible and
don't charge them when you're not there -
so at least you can see what is happening.
Touch the batteries from time to time while charging to
see if they are getting too hot.
A good place to charge them would be on a metal tray on a clear table.
Old lead acid batteries can be the worst as they can gas out -
Hydrogen gas which can explode.
If you really must charge an unknown battery and leave it -
to go out somewhere -
the safest place would be on a concrete floor in a garage -
nowhere near anything combustible.
cheers
Allan
