Hi I was trying to take out the battery on my 5c and it made a squeak and a small patch of smoke came out, it stopped but obviously I need a new battery but I'm afraid the battery will catch fire, how do I get rid of the battery should I put the phone in a glass of water? The phone was already busted but I wanna keep it for spare parts what do I do?
Is this a good question?

dx5512, you definitely don't want to use any water. Lithium batteries and water do not get along at all. remove the battery as Tom describes then put clear packing, masking or electrical tape on the batteries’ terminals. Lithium batteries have been branded non-hazardous by the government. They are accepted at battery-recycling centers. AS in where to find one of those, that will depend on where you reside. Stay away from water.....
