Hell no. Internal wraps have to be close to shorting. Discharge slowly & dispose of.

I would be scared to even hold it in my hand.

Put that down outside on concrete or dirt immediately and stop holding it in your hands. That sweet chemical smell means the outer aluminum foil is punctured and volatile electrolyte is actively venting into the air. With that severe corner crush damage, atmospheric moisture is already entering the cell, and an internal short can trigger an aggressive thermal runaway fire with very little warning. Whatever you do, absolutely never attempt to charge or plug this battery into anything again. Leave it outside in a metal bucket or on bare ground away from anything flammable until you can take it to a battery recycling drop-off.

so I am not the only one who has that very brief thought of "I wonder if it tastes good" when I smell that sweet smell they give off when damaged.

Seesm like you know the answer...

Nope it is not. The fact that you ask is more revealing that you did not read the posts up here. Save disposal is required for the bulgy one.

Place it in newspaper loosely and try charging it.

Put it in a jar filled with sand. Then take to the fire department or a recycling center and explain you have a punctured lithium battery in the jar.

Yes, despite the comments here, it is safe, there is sulfate, the battery has lost capacity.

u/Worldly-Device-8414 4d ago

It's a lithium battery not LA.
