trash that thing!! It looks like the cells were dented on the end you did the close-up pic of.I dont think I would try charging it.Dont just throw it away though. Leave it sit in a bucket of water to dead short it and discharge it completely before you dispose of it.

the cells look fine, charge it and watch it closely, if it puffs, then toss it. It doesn't seem like there's much damage to the cells, moreso on the cover. Again, watch it closely. The cells don't look punctured.

just make sure you charge it in a lipo sack in case something does go wrong.. i really dont know if it is worth the risk...

From what I can see in those pics I really don't think you would have any trouble with it. Quite honestly those cases aren't put together too well in the first place. So it probably looks much worse than it really is.
Just put it in a safe place and try charging.

buying a new one sounds like a good idea to me.. keep that onw in a safe place for a backup in an extreme situation
