There is no way to prevent mistakes like this from causing a dangerous environment. However,
Why is the battery in place while someone is working on the robot?

Most of the sources where I gathered this info isn't what I would call reliable. I got most of my information off Chinese battery manufacturer websites

Place a corner of it on the end of a table, clamp down the other side, and have a good whack at it with a hammer (hard). If it didn't break, it was polycarbonate. - vivek16 [more]
