I don’t know if this is relevant but FWIW, I had this happen 30 years ago with a Mercedes 230sl I owned. I turned the key to start the car and BOOM! (I now know what a mafioso’s last thoughts are: “What the f” was probably all I would have had time to think.) I may be wrong about this, but I attributed the problem to repeatedly discharging and charging the battery weakening the case, as the car tended to sit a lot and not get driven. I replaced the battery and never had another problem.
