I sold most of my RC gear last year. I never got a battery sold for some reason and I came across it last night. It's at max capacity and it's been that way for over 8 months. Is there a way I can test this to make sure it's still usable/safe? Or should I just have it disposed?

I'd take a voltage reading. I charged some batteries up Saturday morning and never got to use one Saturday. When I went to discharge last night it was at 4.1v per cell, so it had already started to decline. However, when left at 3.8 per cell, it sat there for almost 2 months.
