Hello, This is a odd question but I have two new digital alarm clocks model: 3038 Green LED cheapos bought from wal-mart. Yesterday I set both of them up; both appear to be working fine...but last night while slepping I heard a loud POP! and saw smoke puff out of one clock I opened the battery compartment and saw the 9V battery was bloated with corrosive crap leaking out. I looked at the other clock and it is doing the same thing!!! This is a fire hazard; right? I measured the battery connector red/black wires (inside the clock) with a voltmeter and reads: 7 volts...any ideas?
