Scorching Hot Battery

Woke up this morning to the unit chirping and notice to replace batteries. Removed them and one was burning hot, enough so I had to submerge it in water for fear of it igniting and causing a fire. Seems like others have had similar experiences given the number of postings to the boards. Have filled out the form and provided details to the "support help". Will update when there's a response.
