Dropped 18650

[Pearl B]

I accidentally dropped my battery on my wood floor. Fell about 2.5 feet and landed on its side. No damage to top or bottom.
Is it still safe to use?

Thank You!

Is there any damage?

Is there any damage?

I'll second that. "Our" batteries are amazingly durable, and reputable manufacturers test their cells to make sure they won't fail when subjected to abuse - dropping, crushing, hitting, etc.. As long as there isn't any visible damage, you're probably good to go. If there are any dents or deformation, I would probably recycle it, but if not, I would keep using it.

Thank You Sonicbomb and K_Tech!

No visible damage, thankfully. I've set it aside. Think I will try it and just keep an eye on it.
I try to be as careful as possible, this one just slipped and hit the floor. They are good quality batteries too.
