    I purchased a 4 bay 9 volt battery charger from Amazon in late July, 2017. We used it a few times but stored it away for the holidays. Today, I got it out from the hall closet to charge the batteries for my son it use in a gift he got for the holidays. After about 4 hours of charging, one of the batteries exploded out of the charger, striking the kitchen cabinets and dishwasher and bursting into flames.
