Hey Jay,
So I don't believe ReLion batteries are openable - so it's most likely
that when he decided to open it he cut into it and shorted the leads.
As for recycling - first is health safety! I'd suggest he contact the
manufacturer and get specific instructions for safing the mess. Will
Prowess of DIY Solar Youtube channel had some leaky cells and the
manufacturer sent specific instructions to contain and ship back the
unit. You could contact him and he might know but the manufacturer
might know better for that specific model.
Hope that helps!

Very few details...What does it mean "he opened it up" I would even
know how to do that with the L-ions I've been around, seems like its
something a manufacturer should be doing. Temperature? charge rate?
recent usage history? Age? Was it disconnected? Did contacts touch a
conductor?........
You can probably get water to explode if you abuse it just
right.

A fellow installer sent me this just now.
The battery wasn’t working, 5v.
He opened it up and it exploded when he opened it. The lid hit the roof.
Fortunately no one was injured.
Anyone know what to do with this? IE recycling?
And just another example of non explosive lithium batteries exploding
