I went outside 5 minutes ago to move my car. I went outside to start the car and "BOOOOOM!" The battery exploded in the trunk.
Its a newer Interstate battery, probably only 7 months old.
It had been taking a few turn overs to start the car late in the day. It seemed to start fine in colder weather than it did in the afternoon. It always started so I never thought twice about it.
In the afternoon, it would take 2 or 3 tries to get it started. I never tried to start it too long. But even at that, I've never heard of a battery exploding just from trying to start.
The only thing I can think is the battery was being overcharged.
Any one have any ideas?
