Would you use this Lipo?

Hey guys,

Several weeks ago I crashed my CC bird. Since that time, I didn't check the Lipo on it. I checked it today and it had an impact when crashed.

I'm not sure to use it or not.

Here are some pics:

Would you use it?

That's Turnigy 3S 2200 mAh (20-30C)

Personally - no! Looks like the bag is punctured - that's a ticking time-bomb IMO

Bin job, its not worth the risk of losing a aircraft because of a few $'s worth of lipo.

Easy - Remove the connectors and drop into a container of salty water outside... and ignore for a week.
Step 2 - drop in bin

In case you are not sure how to dispose of it...

Thank you guys.

Pete, I didn't know gow to dispose it. I'm now disposing it.

The remaining charge discharges into the salty water. It also nuetralizes the lipo chemical composition so it is safe to dispose it in house-hold rubbish.

Thankfully after 6 years of lipos I have only done this to five packs. Not bad since I fly daily!
