    Any DENT. It may look okay, but you can not know what may have been compromised internally. Back in my helo days I had a pack blow right where it had a minor 1mm deep, 5mm dia dent from a hard landing. It's so, so hard to toss a $100 lipo pack...

    Good you caught that ! That TinyHawk is a Fun little drone. I have many 1S drones- I keep all my 1S in a little ammo can and I try not to store them inside near anything that could catch fire. Old Ammo cans from the surplus store are nice for this

    Known bad Mavic battery caught fire and melted. Very scary. It was a known bad battery and I had it in LiPo Safe. I was straightening up and pulled the battery out to check on it. I ended up dropping it and it began to smoke. I threw it...

    If I ever take a hard crash or see cuts, big dents, puffiness of any kind, or wear. I usually retire the battery.

    Any punch a battery suffer in a crash is dangerous. I do not know the circumstances but Is just to let you know. This is why the RC-cars use hard case batteries.
