Batteries: Electricity though chemical reactions

Batteries can explode through misuse or malfunction. By attempting to overcharge a rechargeable battery or charging it at an excessive rate, gases can build up in the battery and potentially cause a rupture. A short circuit can also lead to an explosion. A battery placed in a fire can also lead to an explosion as steam builds up inside the battery.
