The battery of our car blew up. Good thing it happened at home, and while at a standstill.
Looks like there was only minimal (if ever, no) damage done to the engine (no, the car didn't burst into flames, or something like that) -- since it ran smoothly after replacing the battery, and after having the technician check the car's electrical charge. You'd expect acid melting the engine area, but it was mostly paint forming (at least from what I observed).
Prolly have a second opinion to the extent of the damage, but what still baffles us is that the battery blew up. Looks like it dried up inside, but dried up car batteries aren't supposed to explode; just stop working.
