If your lithium battery has BMS, it should be fine since a lot of BMS will have a lot of protection including over current. If your raw dog the cell, then as the other said, any voltage and current into the battery should be capped. Ideally, you should monitor each cell as well to prevent an over voltage of any of the cells in the pack. If you want to be safe without monitoring every cell, then just make sure nothing gets back into the battery. Nothing goes in = can’t get overcharged by accident from back emf.
