Duracell Battery Exploded

Two days ago, I installed a new 9V battery in a smoke detector. During the night I was awaken by a loud bang. The newly installed Duracell battery exploded. After checking if the smoke detector was operational (no short circuit), I installed a new battery and everything is fine. Anybody with similar experience?
