Wrenches, Allan, I have been using the Blue Ion battery system since they released the 2.0 a d l have systems in offices, labs and garages, l have never had a smell from any of them. I would however look closely at them and see if something got I to the cabinet and got fried. I have had snakes and rats to service panels, ants in inverters all which did smell. Make sure your shots are up to date. Jerry
