Ken,
This happened many years ago when I was a teenager working part-time in a local four bay garage. One of the mechanics attached a battery charger to a battery in bay four. He had opened the caps on the battery and filled the water level before attaching the charger. The charger was working away, boiling the acid in the battery.
Another mechanic in bay three hooked up to do some metal cutting with a cutting torch. A spark from the cutting torch flew over into the area where the battery was being charged. BAM. the side of the battery blew off and spread acid everywhere.
Thankfully, no one was in bay four at the time. No one was injured, but we sure had a striped bay where the acid etched the dirt, grease, and paint off the area where the acid blew.
It was a really good lesson for this teenaged boy.
