I have seen this once before on a smaller spotlight battery which had a dead cell. But in terms of size this one must have been a good bang 8O .

Vents may have been plugged, internal short or alternator may have overcharged it. A few things can make a battery do that.

Yeah plenty of baking soda solution poured over it.

Not caused by over charging as been off for 11 hours.
Id say going by the lack of fluid it was low and built up hydrogen and popped when the key was turned. Possibly internal spark.
Sure made one hell of a noise and gave a few hearts a jump 8O
