I had to replace two flat 9 Volt multi-meter batteries at work and decided to do the following test and see what happens.
One was down to about 5.5 Volts, while the other was down to around 7.5 Volts.
The test result surprised me. I didn't see them explode but one hour later this was the result.
The batteries were put outside during the test.
One pack completely ruptured, other one intact and holding some voltage.
It does certainly confirm the warnings about explosion danger of batteries.
Warning: if you do the test and decide to see what happens, I strongly recommend that you wear safety goggles and have a transparant piece of PVC or glass to shield yourself from the rupture.
You never know what way these cells may explode.
