It’s not fixable and it might block the venting. I suggest to dispose of this cell.

Where can I get that image?
Edit: and is there one specific to flat tops? That shows the difference?

I don’t remember the source. It’s the idea schematic showing the typical unprotected flat/button top Li-Ion cell (the only difference is the added button).

Really cool shit right there, guys. I feel like this should actually become common knowledge for anyone that uses these batteries.
