uses in the battery charger and then removed the battery cables for testing. I tested the battery 's and received a reading of 8.7v on one and 13.8v on the other indicating that the closest battery to me was below voltage and needed replacement.

I then readjusted and began to cinch down for the final connection when the battery blew up.
