    2013 Dodge Caravan Battery Blew Apart

    Probably what was already mentioned about a low electrolyte level. Suppose it would not hurt to check out the alternator output for a overcharge condition. Happened to my '87 GP during the drive to work. Started smelling battery acid, opened the hood, the top of the battery had blow off.
