Zusammenfassung:	Examples are disclosed of methods to deactivate a lithium-containing battery. One example provides a method for discharging a lithium-containing battery, the method comprising adding the lithium-containing battery to a vessel, adding an oxidizing fluid to the vessel, adding carbon dioxide to the vessel, pressurizing the vessel, heating the vessel to form lithium carbonate within the lithium-containing battery, reducing heat and pressure in the vessel, and removing the battery from the vessel.
