      Batteries only explode when something goes badly wrong, and the liquid in them starts reacting and getting hot. Just like water turns to steam if it gets hot enough the liquid in a battery will become a gas if it gets too hot and this is what makes the battery explode. This can be really dangerous so exploding a battery is definitely something you DO NOT want to do.
