Default Delco battery

Last night I went to a local cruz with my 68 Camaro
Parked the car and lifted the hood and spent 3 hours at the show
I then closed the hood and then tried to started the car,
as soon as I turned the ignition key the battery exploded.It was witnessed by many people.The battery was about 1/12 years old.
It was properly installed, the alternator is charging properly.
I quickly opened the hood and doused the enjine compartment with water and Baking soda mix. I also took it to a spray car wash and pressure washed the area. There was no noticeable damage to the paint.
Whyle I was busy fixing the problem I had lots of help
form great car guys. One person drove me to his home lent me another battery and I got home no problem.
It just so happened that a GM rep was there and told me that GM was having a lot of problems with the Delco battery
and that they would be responsible for the damage.He gave me
a number to call to report this incidend.Have anybody else
had a problem with Delco car Batteries.
