Re: Rattling Battery?
If the screws or standoffs on the terminals are not loose, then the rattling is internal. Without knowing the internals details of the battery housing, I would do as several of the other people in this thread suggest, send it to recycling. If it is really just an "unimportant" bit of plastic rattling around, you might not have a problem. If that bit of plastic was holding the lead plates in place, the plates might end up shorting out at some point, maybe much later. Such a short can cause the battery to explode and spray acid everywhere. It is just not worth the risk, even if you are on a "low resource" team.
