Exploded Battery!
Last night around 9 PM, we heard what sounded like a gunshot. Went out and looked around. No clues. This morning I see that one of the two 12V batteries on the tongue of my 20 ft trailer had exploded!...

I am a small boat sailor and a licensed ship's engineer that retired and has been doing work on other people's boats for most of the last twenty years. Most now have a house bank that is a pair of GC2s (golf kart batteries). Some still have pairs of 12V jars. I have seen and cleaned up after many more battery explosions that were pairs of 12V jars. If you believe the convenience of two 12V is worth it, carry backing soda on hand as a precaution.

So a 12V has some inherent propensity to explode that a 6V doesn’t??
