There is a time to pinch pennies and a time not to pinch pennies.

This is not a time to pinch pennies. Trash the old battery and get a
new one.

All the best,

I agree you need to trash the old one or put it in something else. You need
to have similar batteries if you are going to hook them in Parallel.
