Hello /sci/entists,
Whilst fixing an iPod, I ripped the lithium battery. I know this is bad, how to proceed? Where can I get rid of safely?

Not smart. They're made specifically for idiots who can't even into change batteries in their tv's remote.
Should have just paid for them to fix it for you like they want you too.

The safest thing to do is drop it in a bucket of saltwater. Alternatively, if it hasn't gotten hot or anything, you might want to let it sit somewhere where fire hazard is minimal (say, in a terra cotta pot or something) and wait to make sure nothing bad happens to it, and then just use it if nothing happens. Note that I can't really tell from your pic how bad the damage is.

I've had LiPos puff up like balloons and keep working fine, and I've had them go bad after being shorted and being overcharged. None caught fire (the shorted one did melt the insulation on its leads though), but there is always the possibility.
