- Well, not so much the boiling, but the chemical reaction. Hydrogen gas is always present in a charging battery, but usually a levels that aren't significant. _________________________________________

- Just to be clear, overcharging isn't 'boiling,' like boiling water. The too-high charging voltage causes the sulfuric acid electrolyte to release hydrogen gas; the bubbles are the result of a chemica

- One possibility would be a broken conductor inside the battery case. I've had that happen several times now. Under the load of the starter, the broken joint can throw sparks but still conduct enough

- I believe it actually decomposes the water in the electrolyte, producing both hydrogen and oxygen. That's why it explodes so easily; pure hydrogen will just burn. See electrolysis. -- Randall _______

- I think you'll find it's not actually boiling - if that was the case it would give off water vapour. The excess charge rate will be causing some heating, but is actually splitting the water molecules
