Are these dented batteries still safe to use?

I bought a battery online and I guess it was handled roughly during shipping. There was one dent and I squeezed it back in shape thats why it looks almost proper in the pictures I provided.

I was wondering if it would still be safe to use and not cause any explosions or fires in the long run. No unusual smell or anything leaking out of it that I can notice. Thanks in advance

Answer this question I have this problem too

It probably could run, but that doesn’t mean it should.

Since it was delivered to you this way, you should have the right to replace it for free.

It took almost a week for it to be delivered to me and asking for a replacement would mean I'd wait another week. But thanks Chris, I now think it's not worth risking it.
