Exploding lead acid batteries
These batteries, used in stationary and mobile plant and vehicles, have exploded, with casings shattering and the hazardous internal electrolyte, a blend of water and sulphuric acid at low pH, being expelled. Injuries have resulted, mostly from the impact of plastic shards from the exploding casing and chemical burns from the electrolyte. 2.

Why Do Batteries Sometimes Catch Fire and Explode?
Researchers have long known that high electric currents can lead to "thermal runaway" – a chain reaction that can cause a battery to overheat, catch fire, and explode. But without a reliable method to measure currents inside a resting battery, it has not been clear why some batteries go into thermal runaway, even when an EV is parked.
