What Causes A Car Battery To Smoke. Anyway I smelled a very electric-y smell and when I got the hood open the battery was smoking. I would suggest once you let that magic smoke out it no go anymore.
Total internal plate failure is a possibility though albeit slim. Impacts jarring and vibration may cause internal battery damage or result in some impingement on the case of the LiPo battery. It may be the battery could be of age to require replacement to say a slipping belt to a defective alt.
Overcharged can overcome by a bad charging system mainly is from a bad alternator.
Donor battery was out of a modern 6 cyl elec everything Cressida and put into an old 6cyl electric nothing Holden. My car has 118000 miles. It MAY have given up its last ghost during starting but they usually just go flat rather than smoke. Radio and lights looked.
