Damaged Lipo, Disposal?

[Metallover]

Here in South Dakota we like to dispose of old batteries in a big fire.... It makes the night more exciting...

From my experiences, "AA type" (AAA,AA,C,D etc.) batteries are really loud when they explode. I haven't burned a lipo yet, but I have an old lipo cell phone battery I will burn next trip to the farm.

btw I'm not a pyro,,, Just a wannabe redneck.

I'd believe its a chemical reaction that causes puffing before I'd buy into the compressed material theory. A material that can be compressed has an open cell structure (ie., foam, or at the micro level, air). Neither of these are considered high on the electrically conductive scale. I think that right there exhausts my knowledge on the matter......!!!
