Lithium polymer disassembling

Random - 7-11-2010 at 01:09

I found some battery in the street that says LiPo battery so I guess it's lithium polymer battery. I would like to disassemble it, but which things are in it useful?

All though i dont relly know what the exact reaction is thats happening.. it seems to be a flamable gas thats coming out thats burning in air..

You should probably becarful with LiPO batteries as the electrolyte consists of a compound that decomposes into HF when exposed to moisture.
I believe I read that on an MSDS of an old LiPO a couple of years back

I hope youre not after lithium metal; lipos don't have any.
