No. You should dump the battery AND the mod. That mod is a problem if it fired on a flat surface. Or repair it if you have the skills and knowledge to do so.I had my headphones in and left my mech unlocked (doesn't fire usually, paps v4).
Took my headphones out picked up the mech, really hot.
I've put it outside to cool down (with the atty I'm using), it's well safe at 1.2 with an AW 18490 battery. Will it just have drained the battery?
Will I be able to use it once it's cooled down and charged again?
Man,
That's a hair trigger for sure 
180 degrees Fahrenheit.
Me, I put several layers of blue masking tape over each terminal, wrap them in bubble wrap and put into a Qt. freezer bag labeled lithium cells. They go into the recycle bin at The Orange Box store that sells all things hardware related180 degrees Fahrenheit.
That's the temp you need to watch for on most batteries.
2 volts to 2.5 volts depending on the particular cell.
That's the damage threshold.
It's almost guaranteed that battery is perfectly good.
Matter of fact, I'm just going to say keep it and watch for excessive heat the next few times it's used.
Internet battery experts really should learn what they're talking about before giving advice.
These guys saying to get rid of it... ask them what proper disposal consists of.
Bet they mostly can't answer.
And that's potentially as dangerous as keeping it. Especially if it's perfectly good and still holding a charge as it seems.

The battery should be perfectly fine. These batteries are usually rated to go as low as 2.5-2.75v.

Gotcha. A buddy I used to fly RC with used to put his old packs in a bucket of salt water for week. I burn nitro fuel in my planes.Put a 1 ohm load on them for 24 hours first.

Turns out on a lot of packs that creates electrolysis that simply eats away the terminals leaving the pack completely live but won't read anything on a meter.
Well Mooch had a different suggestion than I so getting rid of the battery was probably the right thing to do
Wanted to add.Turns out on a lot of packs that creates electrolysis that simply eats away the terminals leaving the pack completely live but won't read anything on a meter.
I consider this more dangerous as its a false sense of security.
One might be inclined to do something to the pack they'd otherwise refrain from assuming it's safe.
This is how I discharge my lipos...
I do one cell at a time to ensure each cell is depleted.
I got the bulb at a junk yard for free while picking up parts.
Just clipped the wire and kept the connector to put leads on.
Then soldered banana leads to that and a jst-xh connector.
@DC2 Here ya go, buddy.
