O/T battery charging

[vpt]

I have one friend that had a battery explode on him. I also had a car that had a battery explode in it when I lent it out to some family for awhile. I believe the battery had a dead cell but still worked well enough to start the car. I lent it out to family that had wrecked their car for a week. The guy put a battery charger on it and said the battery exploded a couple hours later or so. Not sure what he had the charger set on.

Only two I know of.

Thanks for all the advise, I ordered a charger for these style CSB batteries off Amazon not as expensive as I thought. Having worked with lead/acid batteries for military vehicles I have seen them do some really weird things the worst of which being over charged and gassing the explosions are huge.
