Does anyone know
I got out today for a little while & as always I bring a spare battery with. I had it sitting inside the van & was only out about an hour. got back home picked the spare up ( nice and cool ) put it in my front pants pocket, walked about 75ft, sat down for 2 or 3 min. then reached in my pocket for the battery & it was almost to HOT to touch. never came across this before. Anyone have a clue ?

Possibly a bad battery??
Tinman,
Zack (my 7 yr. old son) gave me a rechargeable battery last Thursday from the charger to use as a spare that was cool to the touch but after about 20 minutes in my pocket, I could feel it warming up. Then, when I tried the battery and it was dead. There was nothing else in my pocket at the time. Overall, kinda like you described. Since I had just bought it nd several more at Radio Shack the day before, I took it back in and explained what was going on. They tested the battery and said it was bad and the heat was due to an internal short and replaced the battery. I was told this usually only happens after the battery has been charge a lot but sometimes the new ones are defective as well. This could possibly be what happened with yours. So far I have had two like this. James

Probably
It wasn't rechargable and was pretty new and I didn't have anything else in my pocket so thats probably it. Just goes to show you, even if something is new doesn't mean it can't be defective. Thank You's for your replies! HH.

Was it real hot outside. If your sweated a lot maybe the pocket fabric was wet enough to be conductive. Not sure that that would even do it

No it wasn't really hot enough to really sweat. I did have this happen once or twice before but I chalked it up to the fact that the battery was in my pocket as I was driving with the sun beating down thru the window on my pants leg. Was not the case this time tho. Yes It was REALLY HOT. Enough that I won't carry a battery in my pocket even for a few minutes.
