Can AAA batteries explode?
Whether they are 9-volt, AA, AAA, C or D size batteries, all are capable of exploding. Few consumers are aware of that potential – despite fine print on the side of the batteries warning about the risk of explosion. When it happens, it can be downright dangerous.
What causes AAA batteries to corrode?
As batteries discharge, the chemistry changes and some hydrogen gas is generated. This out-gassing process increases pressure in the battery. Eventually, the excess pressure may rupture the insulating seals at the end of the battery, or the outer metal canister, or both.
Which has more power AA or AAA batteries?
These two types of batteries produce the same amount of voltage (1.5 volts). The difference lies in their sizes, usage, and endurance in power supply. AA batteries are longer and wider than AAA batteries. Since they are bigger, AA batteries last longer in terms of power supply when matched up to AAA batteries.
Is it safe to store batteries in a Ziploc bag?

What do I do if a battery explodes?
The remedy is to flush with plenty of water. After removing most of the chemical with water, neutralize what remains with vinegar or lemon juice. Don’t use these chemicals before flushing with water, though, because the acid/base reaction would produce enough heat to give you a serious burn.
When to use an AA or AAA battery?
Use AAA batteries are most often used in small electronic devices, such as TV remote controls, MP3 players and digital cameras.
