i think that's illegal and this website doesn't condone this type of activity.
next time take better steps to protect your valuables ie cases (invisible shields, etc)

Put it in a blender for 30 seconds.

Just tell them the battery isn't holding a charge nearly as well as when you got it.
After a year, the battery life could very well be partly diminished.
I did this, and got a brand new phone before my warranty ended. The battery wasn't holding a charge very well, but either way, there really isn't a good way to verify it.
