If you not going to try to get any more cells to replace the bad one.
You can just discharge to 0 voltage. Then it is not worth much but trash.

My TrueRC Lipo cell puffed up a good 3-4mm bigger. I disposed of it. First go to.

I was asked to ship it back for a swap but the cost of posting it back was greater than how much I bought it for they were that cheap. Got FP now and will never look back.
