Gra, did you check the electrolyte level (i.e. has it got fluid in it?) and are any vents (if applicable) open?

My dads got the 2.8 out of one of them in his landrover and that did the same thing over charging (but it did'nt exploded luckly every lucky tho)

So i heard your suposed to have the caps open when chaging the batery ???? Not sure it right as i have never had a problem
