The product, in the report: NextGen Remote Extender Plus with IR Emitter
NextGen Remote Extender Model purchased from Best Buy. I plugged the unit in to charge the batteries, per the product instructions. A few minutes later I smelled something burning, picked up the unit and the battery cover and one of the batteries fell out. I picked up the battery and it was so hot that it burned my hand and melted the battery case area in the unit.
