Can I disassemble or apply excessive pressure to lithium batteries?
If a battery is disassembled, gas may be generated and exposure to electrolyte may occur, which may cause throat and skin irritation if contacted or inhaled. Also, lithium metal may generate heat, causing fire. If deformed under pressure or by impact, distortion of the battery seal may lead to leakage or short circuit, which can cause swelling, heat generation, rupture or fire. Do NOT disassemble or deform lithium batteries.
