Why my Nikon SB800 speed light explodes during photo shoot?

I had a 3-day photo shoot, about 6 hours and 400 photos each day. I used 5 Duracell Ultra Advanced and an rechargeable external battery, everything was fine until the end of the third day, I switched to Duracell Quantum, after 10 shots I heard a "pop" and I saw the plastic melted a bit. I was able to turn the speed light on and off and see all the functions but the light is gone.

I'm not sure what happened. Was it battery issue or my speed light is over used? Also my speed light is about 10 years.

And can I have it repaired?

Your professional advice is deeply appreciated.

Best,
