Several things may cause battery explosions.
Direct shorting of the battery posts external as in Hugh's case. Connecting an over voltage
source external. A spark or flame igniting
highly explosive gasses given off by a battery on charge (hydrogen gas mixed with oxygen is highly explosive even in small amounts). This is why you should always make the final jump connection away from the battery or batteries.
Excessive current in the battery leads to heating which eventually leads to internal damage, internal failure and sometimes explosion. not always an explosion. Conditions must be right. That's why many have done things for years with no problems so they assume all is well. The space shuttle is known to be dangerous. It has flown successfully hundreds of times. It has also had issues as we are all sadly aware.
