I opened a 9-volt battery before and had one of those cells explode on me, I'm not sure what exactly caused it, I think I might have caused a short with the pliers some how but that's just my guess. I didn't get hurt (it exploded in my hand) and it didn't damage my clothes or the environment but it was extremely loud and it left black dust on me.

Thing is ? 3 aaa batterys are cheaper than one 9 volt.About half the price.

aaa batteries are 1,5 volt so you need 6 of them to get 9 volt, that would be the same price as one 9-volt battery

Even if aaa's are cheaper, if you need them quickly and all you have on hand is 9volt, then this is worthwhile.
