I have had them leak, not explode. If they short and get overcharged they will swell up and sometimes rupture their case. Not sure what happens when the freeze.

I'd like to avoid putting holes in the sides/top/bottom of the fiber glass to mount a DIN rain. The switch is 8.25" inch deep so I'd need roughly 8.5" deep or more enclosure.
