Also, there will be a fuse soldered onto the battery pack!
With appropriate safety and supervision:

Throw it down the stairs into a concrete wall.

Bake it in the oven (not a microwave) while on and charging to say 120 degrees to simulate a hot desert day. Freeze it in the freezer.

Operate it near an open flame.

Put your wireless near it, put your phone near it, put an AM/FM radio near it.

These sound really dumb but your can find a lot of problems like that:
RF emissions
Temperature sensitivity
Mechanical sensitivity
Production of hydrogen gas from charging
