yes the smell that is present there is the chemical reaction that shouldn't happen inside most likely eating the plastic shell, its a reduction reaction... that can be very bad. also the expansion is the force created by the extra reactions that is the same thing as an explosion, just not as much force, which causes the expansion. and if it did crack you could have a caustic mess in the area where it leaked. Don't short out any battery, electricity may be fun to mess with, until you get zapped and/or injured.
