Re: Battery Explosion
Yup...the same thing happened to me a couple of months ago with my 70 SS sbc Nova.
As soon as I tried to start it 'Kaboom' and a big cloud of smoke poured out from under the hood. The battery didn't look 'any worse for wear' but was dead as a Dodo bird.
It was a 4 year old battery that had the Battery Tender on for months when I was away. I suspected the connections (spring ring) weren't as tight and clean as they should have been and therefore was the probable source for the ignition spark?
A new battery and cable end maintenance seems to have solved the problem.
