It's very hard to tell especially from that photo. Should be ok from your description, but If you are unsure replacement is a cheap and easy option.
A "scorch mark" indicates some arcing has occurred, which suggests a short could have occurred. You can never tell what damage has occurred inside the battery. Like the saying, "You can't judge a book by its cover", you can't judge what inner damage a battery has sustained by its outer appearance.
I suggest keeping a close eye on those batteries. Check the voltages coming out of the mod, and coming off of the charger. If the voltages are not kosher, I'd dispose of the batteries.
If I were you, I'd be trying to figure out why my batteries both have dents in them, and one has a scorch mark.
That's not normal and something is amiss.

Thanks baditude. Been thinking about it. Dropped 2 batteries together in a plastic case last week, didn't remember the numbers but it may have been them. All my other batteries are fine. Would a drop initiate any kind of arcing or shorts?
Not if they were in a plastic battery case. Possibly if they were in a mod that was dropped.
Na. In the case but the case did break in two.The batteries stayed in the other half but it was from my pocket to the concrete. Hopefully it was that because otherwise a regulated device is causing it.
For real!!! Oh no. I rewrap whenever snagged and just visible dirt would be the only time I would do it. Been vaping for over a 1.5 yrs never ever cleaned a battery just wipe when rewrapping. Feel like a div. how do you clean them?
Was just wondering cause that may be anything.
I use Deoxit gold. Wipe on, wipe off.
Any scorch marks on the contacts inside your mods? If it's scorching it will show up there just as prevalent.
The dents look just like a tight fit in a battery tray... or if used in a mech, gunk collected making for a hard press to make good contact.
So far, I wouldn't worry about it. But more info would be good to make sure.

Clean that mech
Simi chrome
Toothbrush
Soft cloth
Contacts and threads especially
Wipe dry and clean
Then treat Contacts and threads with deoxit

Arcing occurs when the contact is close to the battery.
Like when you use the momentary switch. It happens on a small scale every time you fire a bottom switch mech.
Its quite normal.
Dents are not.

Looks like oxide layer or cooked juice rubbed off of contact.
Looks nothing like arcs or pits.

I use SS mesh.
Threads, contacts, battery terminals, 510 pins, everything.

The alternative makes very distinct marks that deflect light.You can tell that from that blurry pic?
Are you a wizard?
So yes, it's obvious.
No, I don't CLAIM to be a wizard. You draw your own conclusion. [emoji14]
