Is an accidentally sliced battery still safe to use?

Long story short, I was working on trying to remove the adhesive off my old battery and I accidentally punctured and sliced into the battery, peeling the outer covering a little bit. Is the battery safe to use? The battery still functions and charges it's just punctured a little bit and the slice doesn't seem to expose that much. Will this battery blow up or cause harm or can I cover the slice with some packing tape and still be safe? I have some photos attached that you can refer to.

Without the gas proof outer case you do put your self at higher risk of a lithium fire and/or off gassing. To add to it this is the surface which needs to be secured to the uppercase as you don't want the battery to be sliding around.

Alright I see. Would it be safer to drain the battery first as the battery still does have some charge left. Would draining it to zero cause less problems? I already have some extra adhesive so sliding around shouldn't be a problem, But would I be able to cover up the incision and still be fine or would I be better off with a new battery?

@jimmysofat6864 - You can't seal it tight enough so when the inner cell walls rupture the outer case can't hold the pressure back.

Just like riding of worn-out tires you run the risk of a tire blowout at the most inopportune time.

@jimmysofat6864 it wont blow up for as long as you do not puncture/slice the pouches. Looks like yours is just "injured" on the out shell. I would suggest that you at least cover it with some electric tape etc. and try to avoid further mishaps :-)
