Anyone ever have a car battery starting smoking???

My gf just got home and said her car was smelling funny. I just popped the hood and a bunch of gas/smoke is coming out of it. I disconnected it real fast but it is billowing smoke pretty good. What in the world would cause this? Could it blow up or what? BTW it is the original battery about 6 years old. CJ

Disconnect it and don't touch it for a while. Friend of my dads had one blow up in his face when he tried to pull it out of the car. Just let it cool down for a while before u try and remove it. But definately replace it

Yeah I've seen that before, I've also seen one blow up too. I'd say just let it alone for a while and just replace it obviously it's done. Then just have the charging system tested, usually it's just a short in the battery, or sulfating, or loosing some water out of it for some reason, but best to have it checked after replacement.
