Tried to explode
Once I received the magnifying glass I inserted the AAA batteries it came with and tested it out. Worked great but after a couple of minutes the handle got pretty hot. The batteries go inside the handle. I opened the handle and removed the batteries thinking maybe something was wrong with them. I replaced them with my own Energizer batteries, didn't turn the lights back on, and just set the magnifying glass down on a table, turned off. About ten minutes later I heard a loud pop from the magnifying glass, picked it up to quickly remove the batteries, and both the handle and batteries were extremely hot to touch. Before I got the batteries out I could hear them sizzling, and there's a burn on one of the batteries and one of the contact points for the battery in the battery container. Dropped the batteries on the floor, put the magnifier down, and now I'm sending this hazard back.
