With batteries, I always say, "when in doubt, throw it out" not worth it if something malfunctions.

If the can is dented and it's not just damage to the wrap, recycle it.

Looks like a Samsung 26F, an ICR. I wouldn't take any chances with that chemistry of cell. Ditch it and replace with a safer chemistry IMR or INR. You may not need the current handling ability, but the extra safety they offer is still worthwhile.

Check out the Samsung 30Q. It's a 15A cell at 3000mAh, so safer, higher drain and more capacity.
