Its a good idea to keep track of lithium batteries.
There probably has to be a better way.
Not advisable to leave lithium batteries laying around.

A dog mistook a lithium battery used to charge cell phones as a chew toy and started chewing on it. The dog crunched the battery casing hard enough to cause some of the plates in the battery to touch each other which caused a short inside the battery which ignited the lithium in the battery which ultimately started a house fire.

The video shows how quickly it all happened.
Two dogs and a cat escaped out of a pet door but the house had serious damage.
