Can I apply heat to lithium batteries or dispose of them in fire?

If heated to 100°C or more, plastic materials inside the battery such as the gasket and separator may be damaged, causing leakage. The heat generated by a short circuit inside the battery may lead to rupture or fire. If disposed of in fire, batteries may burn violently. Do NOT dispose of lithium batteries in fire.
