A battery can explode with nothing hooked to it. Ive seen it happen to a tech @ a dealership I used to work at. He had a brand new OEM battery on the bench and it exploded. No charger hooked to it, nothing. I think in the OPs case that this doesnt have to do with a safeguard. Something went wrong, not vented properly or vented at all, incorrect battery for the vehicle etc.
