Would it be fine for me to continue using the battery considering the wrap looks fine and I don't spot any outer damage? I'm not able to buy a new battery right now.
If I use it and there are no issues with it like it getting unusually hot, no more grime at the threads etc... Am I safe to assume I'm in the clear and this was a one off thing unrelated to the battery? It's only been in use for 6 months or so.
