Sounds like a hydrogen gas explosion from arcing on the contacts of the

>On a related note, several weeks ago this client went to start this gennie
>after having run her automotive charger (Shumaker homeowner-grade 10A
>automotive charger) for several hours off of system (inverter AC) power.
>When she hit the start button the battery exploded. The battery was under
>the generator and that protected her from acid, but her hearing is still
>partially gone. We weren't there, and she couldn't explain in detail what
>happened. It concerns me, as I can't explain why this battery exploded.
