What should I do with a broken battery?

I bought a refurbished DJI Mini 2 SE, and it came with a faulty battery. The company replaced it with a working one, but now I’m wondering—what should I do with the broken battery? I’m completely new to this, so I have no idea what my options are lol.

Same here! Would be nice if there was a way to refurbish it.

If the battery cells are dead or damaged, there’s no fixing it. Best option is to recycle it.

Drop it off at an electronics recycler. It’s not worth messing with.

Recycle it.

Lithium batteries can be dangerous to mess with, especially if you’re not experienced. You could technically replace the pouch cells inside, but if you’re asking here, it’s probably not a good idea to try.

Exactly—definitely not something I should mess with! I’ll just recycle it.

Thanks for all the advice! Looks like I’ll be taking this battery to an electronics recycling bin. :melting_face:
