replacing lipo cell with a lipo, same c rating but slight lower capaci

I have a 3S 35C Goldbat Lipo 2200mAh battery that fried one of its cells. I have a lipo that has the same c rating but instead of 733mAh( I divided 2200mah by 3 to get 733mah a cell) it has a capacity of 650mAh. I know that it will drain slightly quicker than the other cells, but can it work?

@fegelein by using different cells you’d be changing the parameter of this battery. That in turn could potentially mess with the existing protection circuit modules parameter. You’d be risking over-charging/over-discharging and the ultimate would be if your battery will vent-with-flame. As you can see, not a good idea.

It’ll be much safer to spend the USD$30 and get a proper replacement
