Reply to comment by Vazh93 in Swollen battery. Any ideas on how I can remove it from the case without bursting it? It looks like it's glued to the case. by Vazh93

Perfect. You should be able to find a battery recycling drop off somewhere nearby (sometimes the local dump, or grocery store) They may have packaging directions like wrapping the contacts with electrical tape or putting it in a box before drop off, but that will solve the "I don't want to keep a bomb in my desk drawer" problem.

Those are normally intended for alkaline cells, Li-ion needs special treatment because of its fire/explosion potential.
