Ok, i was kidding when i said "only" 15g of TNT


Both those explosions you linked to were cells in sealed metal container tho. (one that draws 10C?) A container that allows a lot of pressure to build up before bursting is going to cause a powerful explosion even from a slowly venting cell. (and provide shrapnel!)

It was connected to the lead acid battery through a long fused wire, i still had the alternator hooked up. The low current is due to the fact that the voltage of this battery isn't much higher than the regulated voltage of the car.
