Default Almost melted battery!!

Today i was going to practise hovering my Raptor 30V2 Heli, i plugged in my field chager my 12Volt battery, and then connected the battery socket to the battery, not realising that the positive and negative ends were touching, then i touched the batt with suprise that it was extreamly getting hot, i took off the pplug and noticed that it started maelting away the batts plastic, but only 2 little dashes about 2mm thick and 3mm wide each, it still functioned and charged ok, without probs, i just have to be careful in future, the only bad thing i suppose is that the wire has gone all floppy and not as hard as it was. Do any of you guys think it will be ok, or should i get a new batt
