Angry 6-Cell Mod Gone bad???

ok, i don.t know what happend but i was sitting in my room playing nfs: underground and ihear this pop! sizzle.....

i was like wtf?!?!?

then i looked around and saw nothing so a lil while later i was looking at my xmod bout to do a lil modding and i look insode the body top and there is a greyish-blackish liquid that looks sprayed on the inside right side. i take the battery out and its covered in this liquid. it was one of the batteries on the side where i added the other two cells. the battery exploded in my car. it sounded cool but can't be good. Anyone got any ideas why this happned?

doubt it was the 6-cell mod

Your battery popped a leak. Several things can cause this: A defective battery, an improperly charged battery (ie: trying to charge an alkaline), a shorted out battery or exposure to extreme heat or cold.
