What Causes An Exploded Battery?


Recommended Posts

You are very lucky the insides of that battery held up.

The only thing i can think of is that you drained your battery dry somehow. A dead battery can go into an internal short circuit, and that built up gas goes BOOM...

The same thing can happen with overcharging. Specifically because a shit ton of hydrogen is generated. BOOM again...

i sae mention of "quick charging" please define...those batteries are designed to accept a charge rate of 14-15 volts. a traditional boost box wont regulate its output and can exceed voltage quickly even at a 50amp charge rate i have seen a sears charger putting out 16 volts and at 200 amp charge have seen 18-19 volts. with kenetics you need a smart charger so it doesnt go over

how many of these battery's did you have and were they near each other ?

when i was around 12 years old i used to trow metal grates on top of battery's and see what happens. I know it was stupid. and they melted. almost like the pic you have.

I had a Les Schwab battery actually explode once, as in multiple pieces. all because my voltage regulator went out and the battery got overcharged

We had a battery backup in one of our remote wiring/network switch closets where the ac unit died. It got to hot in the room and we lost 2 of the batteries in the unit. They didn't look that bad but they were swelled up enough that we needed a crowbar and a couple of screwdrivers to slide those bitches out. Could there be a heat buildup where those 2 cells were mounted?
