Default EXPLODING batteries

Here's a good one. It's happened before, but I didn't have a camera. I think this was # 4 in 12 years. It's happened twice while going from reverse to forward ('02 TXT 36V Fleet cart). A couple others, because they felt like it.
BOOM! That'll wake you up!

Most of the time its a short (spark) in the battery case. The gas (i forgot which it is) is explosive and BOOM! You're not supposed to smoke around charging batteries, alsoThats WTF
