Well these weren't out of the box pagers. They were certainly modified with a little bit of explosives added in them and a special triggering device.
Modern pagers only use one AA or AAA battery And there's not a lot you can do to make those explode typically (unless the batteries that came with these devices had explosives in them)
This was a well-planned and precisely executed operation that's passed out pagers that were completely functional that likely triggered explosives upon a special signal received.
The same signal was sent out to all of them at the same time. Most of the explosions happened at the same time with some later explosions from devices that were outside of signal range or perhaps malfunctioned.
Upon reviewing the videos of exploding pagers, I agree that the explosions are too big for just having the battery overheat and explode that way.
More than likely, Israel or some other COIN organization gotten wind of Hezzy ordering pagers for their personnel, managed to intercept the order, and replace all the pagers with ones that are engineered to still be functional while being rigged to explode (with plastic explosives, circuitry, programming, etc.) with Hezzy not noticing something was wrong.
While there is a risk of phones blowing up, what I see here suggests a specifically engineered device that looks and acts like a pager, but has explosive bobby trap parts. So if you are worried about the government blowing up you via your phone, I'd not worry unless you are sure that the government planted C4 in your smartphone.

This would be the general type of device they received

Found a video of them exploding. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30487383/hezbollah-fighters-injured-walkie-talkies-explode/
Also this guy's giving some pretty good coverage and details of what went on directly from Israel https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5m0XXTjTbgs
Edit: here's some video footage from inside a Lebanon hospital of the aftermath and it's everything you thought it would be https://www.instagram.com/reel/DABvfPvysfc/?igsh=MXFwMnAzZ2VpMHdpcw==
I guess when God asks for 100 foreskins He didn't specify he needed them in one piece lol
