As a community services announcement: you should probably replace that battery immediately.

It might never burn your house down while you sleep, but someone else might read your comment and think it's okay.

I most certainly will not.

Shorting, puncture and overcharge cause lipo fires. Expansion can lead to puncture and shorting in stupid thin enclosures, this is in an inch thick unsealed enclosure with lots of give which even pops off with little force, containing a battery which has swollen around 1-2% of it's original volume.

This is not a consumer advice forum, it's hacker news...
