<DIV></DIV>&gt;Don't think so. The case may have cracked for some reason, but probably no explosion. An explosion would have left acid ALL OVER the engine compartment.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; evils been having some charging problems, figured it was the battery since it has a 6 month old alternator. the other day i jumped evil to get her started and let her run for a while just to keep everything going. pulled her back in and let her sit for a couple of days. tonight when i went down to the shop, i popped evil's hood to check some things out, when i popped the hood i got a great big wiff of battery acid. apparently some time in the last two days the battery exploded and dumped all the acid out of it. it was fine when i put it away, so how the hell could this happen? i suspect that one of my "shopmates" did something funky to my battery and doesn't want to own to it, but before i go accusing friends of stuff i'd like to check with all of you and see what you think. can a battery just explode sitting there when the car has been turned off for a while? i never heard of such thing happening before.
