Have dome puffy Breeze batteries I want to dispose of. Putting a light bulb across the terminals seems like a good idea, but need a means to connect to the batteries terminals.Anyone know where to get a connector to these batteries without inserting them into bird? Can I open the breeze plastic battery enclosure and get to the lipo battery wires?

Just drop them into a bucket filled with salt water....about 1 cup of salt in a gallon of water. Let set for a few days.and then throw in trash (they are NOT toxic to the environment)
 
Fly them down as low as you can get them.
Bamaguy is correct, salt water is a safe, but slow way to get them to Zero volts. Once at zero they are considered inert and will not pose any safety or environmental hazard.
 
I agree, salt water will do it.

I am curious, do you think you overcharged the batteries in the charger? Leaving them on overnight or similar? I think the charge current is not excessive for LiPo, so wondering how this happened so perhaps I can avoid.

Thanks
