You have to be extremely careful when dealing with components like this. We tend to take these things for granted but these batteries are nothing to shake a stick at. They are capable of extremely serious current output and can be very dangerous to yourself and everyone else. A good rule of thumb is to treat the battery as if it could attack at any moment: don't make any sudden movements, and certainly don't encourage it (like prodding it with a threaded rod for instance )!
