Hello, so my batteries - sony VTC6 arent usible anymore?

I acidentaly dropped them on chrager (They wasnt charging at that moment), when I took them out, I notice lil bumps on the negatives, Can I still use them without worrying that it will sing boom boom boom at my face? Or throw them out? :>

Not worth the risk, if it was ME, I would pitch them. JMHO

They're actually dented? It looks that way in the photo. I'm with Burnie on this one, toss and replace.

yep its not a huge dent, but its on the end a small one. I thought so, I have other 2, but I like to swap them out, well guess im sticking with only 2 for now. thanks

I've had some AWs get dented like that (worse actually) in my old GGTS.
I continued to use them with no problems and little concern. (2013-2014)

However, When in doubt, toss it out.

$10 is cheap for peace of mind.

That happened on your charger? Looks more like from a mod....

Either way, since it's a public forum and there's no telling who's reading this, I'd replace them.

 

[wheelie]

If I never used dented bottoms I would not have any batteries. LOL

The charger is fine, it didint drop from like 10meeters, it was more like 10 cm, and what coused the dent was the chargers spiral thing when u put it in it streches, so it bounced with some power on it.

Totally your call, but at $5 per cell, you aren't losing much by replacing them and you're gaining peace of mind.

Ahh, that makes sense

Remember, it's not so much the dent(OK to a degree yes) but it's also indicative of the force the battery was deformed by (a little deformed as in dent, not bent in half) and potential damage to the contents. Li batteries have all these layers and if damage/tearing/GI upset occurs, it's a potential headache you didn't need. Here's a diagram of the inside of these things brought to you by Google images (you can find anything these days)

If it were me, I'd toss them. It wouldn't be worth the risk.

I have lots of dented batteries from mech mod use. I still carefully use them, probably a bad idea, but I do.
