So I heard this story from an electrician that works at a local hospital.
In the hospital they use 48V electric golf carts to drive around to maintenance jobs.
He said that one golf cart was dead away from the charger so they decided to try and "jump it" with another to get it charged enough to drive back.
Rather than parallel (pos > pos, neg > neg), they connected the terminals wrong in series (pos > neg).
He said one of the batteries exploded and injured the other electrician. Pieces of battery flew all around.
What is the most likely reason the battery exploded?
