<BR>
the carbon was distributed widespread and the alloy foil and copper foil as well <BR>
the explosion did not wake me up so probably a fizz whoosh.<BR>
<BR>
other chemistries are a lot more explosive<BR>
the over charge probably produced a gass that eventually overcome the tiny vent hole and blew the contents all over the workshop<BR> <BR>
lesson learnt use a BMS<BR>
