Depending on the chemistry lithium ion batteries are safe to up to 400°F or more. Surely the manufacturing engineers pick a thermo adhesive with a melting point between the maximum operating temperature and the maximum safe storage temperature.
Think about the iPad 2 screen glue. Glass glued in place, but a hair dryer is more than enough heat to release the glue.
- ars 14y ago"Depending on the chemistry" is not a valid answer when recycling something - they don't have time to lookup the specs of each battery. http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/lithium_ion_safety_concerns http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/lithium_ion_safet... says maximum temperature of 265°F, which is very very close to the temperature needed to melt the glue (250°F, for low temperature glues, and 380F for high temperature glue - which is very close to even your 400° number.)
