RE: dropped a lipo...
Place it in a steel bucket in a VERY fire-safe area and charge it. Then discharge it (again, in a fire-safe area)
Do this two or three times. If it holds up, it'll be ok to use, just keep an eye on it.
I have one that was in a crash that has a slightly bent corner and it still works fine, but I don't give it regular use and I am extra careful with it.
