Hi Everyone!

I have a question about a drone battery I reciently received. So I purchased this P4P used from someone, and the only battery has some slight gas in the foil. I know the dangers of LiPo batteries, but before I retire a battery too early I want to make sure i'm not being too paranoid.

So from the video below, there is a slight filling of the foil. It's not tight, it's not pushing out from the plastic enclosure, and I don't feel any bulging in the cells themselves.

Following this, from the logs attached, I don't see any noticible concerns in the stability of the battery. Do you think that i'm still safe to use this battery until I do notice something or the foil becomes more inflated?

You're quite the mini moderator JetSam
That looks more like deformation of the label. BUT if you feel that the battery itself is bloated. DO NOT USE IT.

or it may look like this
