tx lipo pack over discharged ?

The last time I looked at the charger(while charging) it was at 14.785v and 1300 or so mah, the alarm sounded and the screen said time exceeded or something, it had charged for 10800 sec. The charger was done charging when I noticed the voltage dropping. I'm pretty sure this battery is shot but I'm just trying something to see if it will work. I mean what can I do..ruin it? I'm doing this as safely as possible so at worst I let the smoke out and then I'll be sure this battery is done.

The final update is battery is no good. The battery has 3 "good" cells and 1 that won't even register on my balancer. #1 cell has 7.3V , #2 has 5.6 and #3 has 5.4V. How can this battery still be showing 14.3V on only 3 cells? In any case this battery is probably headed for the trash can. What's the safest way to discharge this battery?

A broom stick w/a nail in the end. Stand back and watch the show.
