Can I save this LiPo Battery?

So I have a Gens Ace 4s lipo battery that has maybe 10 cycles on it. Today I discovered that somehow the positive lead has broken off down in the hardcase itself. Is this battery salvageable?

Totally salvageable. The hardcase is only superglued together, you can break the seam (CAREFULLY!) with tools, or by twisting the hardcase pack in your hands. Be aware that the cells are foam taped to the top and bottom case half.

From there, it's the usual when working with LiPo's. Be careful.
