Root [Sprint/Cricket] bad battery ;)

Okay so.. I have a bad battery in my l710. And so I threw it at my wall. 3 times. :):) its working..and allowing me to write this up. Hahaha!
Anyways. First things first. The battery was bad. Full charge. Dead in an hour. No joke. 66 minutes. 100% to power off. Not turning back on. All services were stopped. WiFi data Bluetooth and GPS.. All off. Dead. Garbage.

Now. I threw it at the wall exceptionally hard.. Might I add. Not once but 3 or more times. To the point where the battery no longer looked flat.. It was bent awkwardly and had a small bulge.. As I took it out side and applied my volt metre to its contactees.. You'd imaging my surprise to find it still giving a regular output.. *scratches head* well its not leaking I said.. Let's give it another go. So I flattened it best I could popped her in.. Annnnd...
42% and running strong.. Back cover isn't sitting flat anymore.. But I don't care. It works again.. Hahaha.

Now this is not advice.. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS!
But to those of us who do have another battery.. And a 'failing' one.. You might be surprised to find out just how resilient these things really are.
 
**envisions Das showing a battery who's boss** :D
