Bob said: (quoted from post at 12:55:12 12/18/08) You MAY NOT have had an actual battery explosion. The caps MAY have been frozen in place and covered in ice so their vents were plugged, and the battery may have been simply pushed apart by gases generated by charging it. As the battery top warmed a bit and the internal pressure increased in each cell, the caps may have been simply popped off.
Makes sense, except for one detail. How could the end cell split and lose electrolyte and THEN be able to have gas pressure sufficient to pop the cap? You would think gas pressure could split the case OR pop the cap, but I am curious as to how it could do BOTH things on the same cell. Thanks..[Freezing could do it, but that doesn't fit the facts.]
