First, thanks everyone for responding. The Internet is truly a wonderful thing... Second, some clarifying details; the car had run for 1h and was parked in a carport for another 1h. The battery was fine up to this point, when it flatly exploded (not in anyones face, luckily...). Third, it was a hydrogen gas explosion. A check-up at the Saab shop did not reveal anything wrong with the electrical system. Fourth, a thorough wash-out of the engine compartment and a fresh battery from another maker (!). End of story. Epilogue, this happens a few times a year (admitted by the Saab dealer). I find even this rate remarkable. More horror stories at http://www.rayvaughan.com/battery_safety.htm Take care, Per-Erik S
