The battery no longer works but I’ve kept it plugged in and used it for streaming music at work the last few years. Today it’s in an infinite loop of rebooting and I noticed the glass popped out!

That’s better. Ideally move them into a bucket or more of sand. I don’t know how it would work for batteries, but explosives get more dangerous when put in a container. Sand is better because it can absorb a lot of thermal energy without catching fire. Any non conductive non flammable material like that should work.
Also I’m not an expert on this stuff. Go find and listen to one.
Dry sand is important. Wet sand turns a metal fire into a metal fire fountain.
Well, it’s not sand exactly but I had a lot of spent casting silica on hand.
It’s basically a dirt filled metal ammo box under a pile of bricks. Even if it was unable to relieve pressure through the seals (no idea, but waterproof rarely is also airtight especially for internal pressure) I’m not concerned with an explosion. Although to be clear, the gasses produced by lithium can absolutely cause a sealed container to rupture.
The bricks are quite insulatory by themselves, the dirt was just so it could absorb moisture a bit better just in case, and if it all does explode, the weight of the bricks will keep it from hurting the garage door 30ft away. I don’t believe there is any danger of hitting the road with anything should the worst happen.
