I would definitely check the battery tender. If the battery was warm with that small of a charger, they are usually under 1 Amp, the voltage regulation is gone and boiled one of the cells dry. Why the battery blew up is unknown. I've used a home made tender for over 25 years and one battery lasted for over 20 years. It was a hell of a good battery, an el cheapo autolite that I got from Checker. Your problem would have gotten my attention too. Oh S***
