While they tend to not "explode", they will vent a low vapor point highly volital organic solvent when they get hot/overcharged, possibly from the electrodes shorting.

When they are frozen, the same solvent becomes incapable of moving electrons.

Over discharge typically results in the electrodes warping or being saturated with "oxides" much like flooded lead acid, but cant be recovered.
