Dear Sirs,
having a TL-5186/P battery (https://ru.mouser.com/datasheet/2/474/TL-5186-1214094.pdf) suspected to have been short-circuited for a tiny bit of a second (while measuring the voltage). The suspection is just because the cell have rolled right a bit, displacing the pins, while measured. The voltage is correct (3.6 V) afterwards, and no short-circuit effects (sparks, etc.) have been observed at all. But I’m still afraid of if it can malfunction someday. The cell is intended to be installed in a medical appliance. The question is – may the battery be accepted or better to be rejected and replaced? Can the case described really lead to the cell malfunction or it’s nothing to worry about? The abuse tests in brochure (https://tadiranbatteries.de/pdf/Technical-Brochure-LTC-Batteries.pdf) describe much more harsh terms concerning external short circuit, so I tend to think the small part of a second cannot be a reason to reject the cell that shows normal operation after all? Sorry for such a question, registered here especially to ask it. Thanks in advance for your advices, they are appreciated.
