The product, in the report: Tenergy 9.6 volt 2000mah battery
My son had a fully charged battery and when he plugged it into his device the battery popped and began to smoke and burst into flames. We were thankful that he had it in a contained environment and with quick, thinking he was able to carry the unit outside where it continued with flames and smoke. After the incident was over we discovered that the wires leading from the battery had melted causing a short. This was a 9.6volt battery by Tenergy when fully charged it was 11.5 volts. This could have been a very serious fire in our home if we had left this product unattended.

The product, in the report: Tenergy TN141 9V battery charger with four Tenergy Centura 9V NiMH rechargeable batteries
On January 1, 2016, I bought a Tenergy TN141 9V battery charger with four Tenergy Centura 9V NiMH rechargeable batteries from a third-party seller at Amazon[1] named Battery Superstore[2]. The batteries worked fine until I recharged one of them. I used the recharged battery in a [REDACTED] (repellent mat for pets). On August 31, 2016, I noticed that my [REDACTED] was no longer powered. When I opened the mat’s battery compartment to replace the battery, I saw that the battery had melted. The mat was partially damaged by the melted battery, but the mat still works. I’ve used countless [REDACTED] batteries in [REDACTED] and other devices, and none of them have melted.

(08/30/2016) The consumer stated that her son inserted the battery in the charger and plugged the charger into the wall. After about 10 to 15 minutes, he unplugged the charger from the wall. The battery was in his hand. He heard a crackling sound. At that point he threw the battery up in the air. The battery exploded like fireworks. It was so hot, the battery dropped to the floor and immediately caught the wood floor on fire. There are many burns spots on the floor.
No injuries.
