Long ago a friend's car battery exploded. The car was an early 70s chevy nova so there wasn't much in the way of electrical system to check. Everything was good and the next battery lived +5 years with no changes.
Always figured there was some minor defect or something that caused the battery to start emitting hydrogen.
- briHass 3y agoAlways wear safety glasses when charging, disconnecting, jump starting, etc. car batteries (lead acid). The small amount of hydrogen generated can ignite from a spark, and it's enough to explode the top and shoot plastic scrapnel everywhere. It won't seriously injure your meatier bits, but it's more than sufficient to take out an eye.
