There is a Bluetooth chip somewhere that is connected somehow. Assuming you can somehow get to it without destroying the battery, disconnecting it shouldn't be difficult.

I thought about that, but one of the safety features of these batteries is an active fire suppression system that fills the interior with some kind of fire-extinguishing foam. I'm terrified to try to take these apart for fear of somehow triggering that. Plus, they're hella expensive lol.
