EEEOOowwweeee!
HAHAHAHHAHA.
Alright.. got it. Getting rid of the battery. Will have to order a new one. Hopefully ITS can loan me one or something until it gets here. It's shitty that MacBook's can't run without the battery in even if they're plugged in....
If Lithium Ion is close enough to Lithium Polymer, pierce the coating of the cell and soak it in salt water for a day or two. Then it will be safe to toss in the garbage.
a friend had the battery in his laptop explode on his lap while in bed back in 2005. These pictures are the result.

FFS DON'T PIERCE A LI-PO BATTERY!!!
Li-pos are pretty god damned dangerous enough without any sort of damage. Piercing one is asking for trouble.
OP, if you have a hobby store (NOT hobby lobby, but something like a Tower Hobbies) they usually have a box for battery disposal. Our local BestBuy has this as well. You may want to check.
If you are worried about it bursting into flames, there are fire retardent bags for batteries (in case something should happen during a charge cycle) that you can place it in.
Hmmm - Lithium ion batteries burst into flame when the insides contact moisture, including the moisture in the air. This type of fire will not get put out with water or CO2.
