Yes, alkaline batteries have the potential to explode if they are subjected to extreme heat or are damaged. Overcharging, puncturing, or short-circuiting can lead to a buildup of pressure inside the battery, causing it to rupture or explode. It is important to handle and dispose of alkaline batteries properly to mitigate the risk of explosion.

Are alkaline batteries really poisonous?
Alkaline batteries can be harmful if swallowed due to the chemicals they contain, such as potassium hydroxide. Ingesting alkaline batteries can cause chemical burns and damage to the gastrointestinal tract. It is important to keep alkaline batteries out of reach of children and pets and to seek medical attention if ingested.
Is Rayovac an alkaline battery?
Yes, Rayovac produces both alkaline and lithium batteries.
Are sunbeam batteries alkaline based?
Sunbeam offers both alkaline and carbon-zinc (super heavy duty) versions of their batteries. Alkaline are ideal for higher drain devices such as wireless video game controllers and computer peripherals, radios and certain toys. Carbon-zinc batteries are designed for low drain applications such as remote controls, smoke detectors and clocks.
Can alkaline batteries be charged in the freezer?
No, alkaline batteries cannot be recharged, even if placed in a freezer. Alkaline batteries are designed for single-use and attempting to recharge them can cause leakage, overheating, or even explosion. It's best to dispose of alkaline batteries properly and use rechargeable batteries for multiple uses.
Are alkaline batteries harmful for the environment?
Alkaline batteries can be harmful to the environment if not disposed of properly. They contain metals and chemicals that can leach into soil and water, posing a risk to ecosystems and wildlife. It is important to recycle alkaline batteries at designated drop-off locations to prevent environmental damage.
Can you put in lithium ion batteries in a camera that takes AA Alkaline batteries?
no if you do the camera can explode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can alkaline batteries be used in digital Cameras?
I use alkaline batteries in my Olympus 2009 camera.
Do batteries explode when they are tossed into flame?
Yes, they can explode.

How do batteries explode?
Batteries can explode if overheated, or if they have been sitting unused for a very long time (i.e: in your old remotes).
Can you recharge normal AA batteries with your car battery charger?
Yes, it can be done, if you put 4 (6v) or 8 (12v) batteries in series or use a dropping resistor to obtain the correct voltage. By using an automobile battery charger 6v to 12volt (start), normal alkaline AA-AAA, C, etc., can be recharged by touching the positive (red) and negative (black) jumper cables to the same pos+/neg- ends on a bank of AA or AAA alkaline non-rechargeable" batteries. WARNING! Some batteries may explode if not used properly. If cables are continuously touching the batteries for too long, it could cause it to pop, snap, or heck, even explode, splattering battery chemicals about, scaring the person. Better batteries don't explode as often as the less expensive ones.
What are the benefits of using a NiMh battery instead of an alkaline battery?
NiMh batteries perform better in high discharge devices (like digital cameras) than alkaline batteries. They are also rechargeable, unlike alkaline batteries.
What are alkaline batteries made out of?
Copper
Does alkaline batteries have more power or does lithium batteries have more power?
lithium batteries have a faster current discharge rate then alkaline batteries but they cost more. The LIPO battery is used the most in RC planes.
Is Rayovac an alkaline battery?
Yes, Rayovac produces both alkaline and lithium batteries.
What is the source of alkaline in batteries?
The electrolyte used in alkaline dry cell batteries is usually potassium hydroxide.The main advantage of the alkaline potassium hydroxide electrolyte over the acidic ammonium chloride electrolyte in conventional dry cell batteries is that if it happens to leak outside the battery case it will not corrode the metal parts of the device it is powering (but the leakage still makes a mess that should be cleaned out when replacing the bad batteries with good ones).
How does the type of battery affect how long it will last?
This is not necessarily true. Usually the brand of battery is not as important as the technology used. An alkaline battery should last longer than a regular carbon battery, no matter what the brand.
