Burns hot and fizzles / skims around the surface of water as it burns - needd to be stored in oil or will self combust on contact with air...

We used to borrow it from the lab and throw it in the school pond... ducks weren't so happy...

Lithium from batteries is normally stable in a matrix but if over charged the lithium can collect at the anode and hence combust.
