[Shop-talk] battery exploded ???

[john]

here's a new one for me... Hadn't heard my generator exercise lately so tried 
to start it manually...click..ckick
 
pulled the cover off and 
here's what I found... top and side blown  off and of course fluid drained out
 
looks like it exploded... anyone seen this before??   can't 
trouble shoot till I get another battery... what...other than a direct
short would cause this??   what/where/how would you troubleshoot ??
