I really don't understand he chemistry of the "battery" exploding. I can understand that if you charge the battery too quickly you can generate a lot of hydrogen gas which will explode when the concentration reaches 5% even without a spark. If you get a shorted cell in one battery you can get fast. Discharge in the other which can also cause excess hydrogen. Seems like you always see circuit breakers recommended in the lines to parallel batteries that I assumed were to limit current flow and hence hydrogen generation. I really don't know that much about batteries however which is why I asked the question. Just seems if you isolate batteries and then close a switch to connect them the chances that one of them is fully discharged is high and high current flow between them is also high.
