Default question about my burned battery

well i was looking it over. i was wondering if i should test it to see if it still good? the reason im asking is it never swelled or punctered the pack but the foil is burned. should i take the chance? it just sucks because this was a brand new pack(also my brothers) it would suck if i have to buy a new one but i dont want to have to buy a new car either after it explodeslol

Do you have any idea how the foil got burned like that? Had it been in a crash?

That battery is done for. If you want to usethat battery, consider thatdamaged batterieshave immense power, they tend to throw the Earth at a flying plane........ price of new battery vs price of new plane/ secondary crash damage/injuries to other property/people.
