Well make sure you remove the battery and don't cut yourself while doing it, as even a small battery can kill you if it there's an electrical path to your heart (for example a cut on your finger touching a metal contact... worse even if it's on two fingers on opposite hands).

 

It's a 3.7 V battery, it wouldn't even tickle him.

Wrong. A 3.7 V battery can generate enough current to kill you, IF the current flows through your blood (which is basically water thus highly conductive).

If it flows through the skin it's no problem of course.
