More often than not batteries corrode from being in an object for long periods of time, and the contents leak and damage the object the battery was in. The only time a battery will actually explode is when it is subjected to high levels of heat.

It will make little sparkes and some fire DO NOT believe the above answer. An exploding 12 volt battery means all the energy in the battery is dissapated in one millisecond, causing the battery to fly apart with possibly lethal results. If you think a battery is about to explode-RUN AWAY!!!!!
