I just got a look at the battery, sorry for the lack of photos my phones camera is from ~7 years a go, flip phone. Regardless I could see no major damage to the bottom, no cracks or obvious dents. However the bottom did seem scraped up, but that may just be due to normal wear and tear.

Well regardless from this point forward we will only charge batteries under supervision. Hopefully this will reduce our problem.
