Probably, but a Sodium Sulfur battery is more fun because it runs at
300C:

Molten Salt batteries, which run at about the same temperature, are
also fun:

Not to mention a great source of lithium to aid in the manufacturing
of Meth.

Yech. I guess you're trying to reduce pseudo ephedrine cold pills
with thionyl chloride. To remove the alpha-hydroxy group to produce
N-methyl-alpha-chloroamphetamine you can hydrogenate that with lithium
aluminum hydride, but it's easier to just use pure hydrogen gas and a
platinum or nickel catalyst. Paint thinner, acetone, or kitchen drain
cleaner will also work. The result is N-methylamphetamine and
hydrochloric acid. Evaporate off the water and you have your
methamphetamine hydrochloride.

There was a semi-abandoned shack near my house that was used for a
meth lab. We didn't have a clue until we smelled the ether. One of
the neighbors bought the house from the now impoverished aspiring drug
manufacturer and discovered that the house was irrecoverably saturated
with meth in the drywall and wood. They tried ripping out the drywall
ceilings, but that didn't work. They eventually had to reduce the
house to a shell, rebuild everything inside, in order to recover.
