I don't know if this is the correct place for this post, but wanted to know if anyone ever had a similar experience.
I have several dive lights, all from a package. I knew some of the lights needed new batteries. On the way to the dive site, I asked my wife to open the lights and tell me how many batteries and what types I needed to purchase. She told me then reclosed the lights. We purchased new batteries.
At the dive site, I was opening a light to replace some AA's, and when I did there was a loud explosion. I dropped the light, as it hurt my hand, and scared me. It was the 3rd of July, so divers asked me why I was popping firecrackers.
I was curious if it is due to the gel in the batteries compressing at depth, or something else. Anyone have any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else?
