Battery overheating!

[Thrawn]

So I was taking a 6 hour trip today, and about an hour from home we started smelling something odd. First we thought it was something on the road, then thought it was something in the fields they were spraying. About 5 mins from home we realized it was the car, and it was getting stronger. Car was not overheating, so I was a little confused. We pulled in the driveway and I popped to hood. No smells nothing seamed odd. Walked around the car and popped the trunk. It was a lot stronger back there. I could also hear a sizzling sound. I raised the floor cover in the trunk and the battery was smoking and sizzling and stunk really bad. I was afraid it was about to burst into flames so I unhooked it and pulled it out of the car. I set it at the end of the driveway away from everything. Now I am not sure if it was the battery that went bad, it is only 2 years old, or something went wrong with the car and it over charged the battery. This is on a 2013 x5 with the 6 cylinder engine. Any ideas where to start looking?
