I've yet to hear of an AAA battery exploding.

I've found them surprisingly resilient - like that time I mistook 4 of them for rechargeables and left them in the charger for a good few hours. They got incredibly warm, and oozed some sort of juice which ate the top surface of my desk, but the whole episode was (thankfully) explosion/fire free
