Don't know the legit of the posted version of them exploding but I CAN attest to the fact that batteries DO explode.
I had the battery from my screw gun sitting in the charger on a table in the dining room. We were down stairs and heard an explosion on the upper level.
The battery exploded and took out part of one wall and the ceiling, and the ceiling was a cathedral ceiling!
If anyone had been sitting near or at that table they would have been seriously injured.
I no longer charge any battery inside the house.
