Wow that is scary stuff. Boiling battery is off gassing hydrogen gas. In a confined space like a battery compartment it can explode.

I know first hand about exploding a battery. In the mid 70’s I had a Plymouth Valiant brought into the garage flooded out and the battery dead. Put the battery on high amperage or as we called it a hot charge. While pulling the spark plugs to dry out my air ratchet bumped the positive post, sparked and the whole top of the battery blew up in my face! I’ll never forget as it happened on my 21st birthday. After several hours in ER getting my eyes rinsed and neutralized my buddies took me to the tavern for my 21st birthday with my eyes wrapped in gauze bandages!
