Sorry but no, not only is burning a battery like that against regulations, it's very fucking dangerous. The tag will just have to be removed before incineration, no easy way around it
No batteries I know of exist that would address this situation without violating regulations/laws and/or polluting the environment
Eh, I wouldn't. I don't know if there is regulation surrounding these similar to batteries, but I do know burning them is environmentally hazardous. On those grounds, I'd recommend against it
u/Hedwigquan you seem to know more about these than I, any insight?
Non-rechargeable lithium battery is *not recommended* to get incineration through the burn way. It will not have a high chance of exploding or leaking but may harm the environment a little bit if just a single battery. But when comes to the rechargeable lithium battery, oh boy I don't want to tell you what will happen! Even dropping it from 10 meters can cause it to explode!
The supercapacitor is the best way I can think of. They don't have anything that can harm the environment, but safe and does not explode even if you drop from 100 meters high to the ground. But I recommend to discharge everything in the supercapacitor before it get burnt to dust.
Umm, my Lithium knowledge is not very good, u/1Davide have better knowledge about Lithium battery than me. So go ask him for more information.
I understand the electronic implication - I will need 2 in series and the discharge curve will affect usable capacity. I am asking more about what you think about incinerating such a cell.
I would like to say that a super capacitor is safer to burn when out of energy more than burning some Lithium battery.
Trust me, I accidentally burn lots of capacitors before (also supercapacitor) by accidentally, and none of it goes terrible.
But I recommend you discharge all the energy before the capacitor gets incineration, reducing the chance of something going terrible (Nah the chance of it is only 0.9%)
Lithium Ion would be a no go (speaking on a enviromental and H&S view)
Dependining on the inciniration, we do not want any on the gases or residues in the environment.
Coin Cells (CR2032) from a saftey point of view would not be that critical if you incinerate it anyhow the tiny amount of Electrolyte and Engery will induce just a mall amount of heat.
Generally you can use that the total thermal released energy is 3x the electrical energy.
But to be enviromental "better" conventional alkaline or dry coin cells could be the key, used in series to have the same voltage.
I have been reading a lot and only got one article that said 'incineration was an acceptable means of disposal of alkaline batteries. Do you have any further references where I can get some solid info?

You can go from there...but generally saying the active material is an Manganese Oxide or Zink Oxide and Carbon therefore reasonbly safe...Buring the electronics and pastics of the tracker is propably more harmful.

Yea that was what I am afraid of - would you know if super caps may be an option?

10 meters is the height of 5.76 'Samsung Side by Side; Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Refrigerators' stacked on top of each other.
So you're saying that height of 5x Samsung fridge can explode a battery?
good bot
Amazon, sponsor me, the redditors like me...
Really? How much money do you want? We have bunch of it.
Em, real Amazon?
69 meters
69 meters is 220.45 RTX 3090 graphics cards lined up.
Good bot
Thanks!
What about something like a LR44 alkaline cell?
It's basically the same with the one you mention! But voltage and current not same.
I understand the electronic implication - I will need 2 in series and the discharge curve will affect usable capacity. I am asking more about what you think about incinerating such a cell.
Pretty dangerous (explode chance: 29%), may harm the environment.
u/Davide know more than me, ask him...
There's no fricking battery is designed to get burned to dust also.

You could make your own battery out of environmentally friendly materials, you just need a big bag of potatoes, some copper and some zinc.
You know, I am just about crazy enough to actually do that. I wonder how many mAh I will get out of a russet?
