Default Sparks!

Unfortunately, theplug to one of my best batteries came off. It was almost fully charged, and before Icould comething to cover up the exposed ends of the wires, they crossed and sparked. Is there anything I can do to save this battery, or is it no biggie? Will it kill my charger if Itry to charge it? The battery is a 7c 1500maH Elite off of CBP.com for *cough*cough* airsoft, even though Ihave plugged it up to a T4 before. Thanks!

If it only touched for a second then it's fine. Put a different style plug on it that the contacts can't fall out of.

Ok, thanks. I would like to put Deans on my batt and gun, but it would be kind of overkill. I am going to make sure the connectors don't fall off anymore with enough hot glue to fix the San Andreas Fault.
