Make sure you dispose of it properly if you decide to throw it out.. I don't know too much about lipos but I do know I wouldnt do anything before getting it checked. Batteries arent cheap so I suggest taking it to an electrical supply store if you don't have the meters and have them test it out to make sure it's functioning properly and safely. They shouldnt charge you anything and will probably dispose of it for you if it's dead. You can pick up some spare fuses while youre at it.
Unless you're running something with VERY limited vacancy for a battery, I'd suggest sticking to a nice 9.6 nimh. They're less of a pain and a little harder to mess up. Furthermore, if it's an 11.1v lipo, it's pretty much eating your gun (doubling wear and tear on your internals).
I know there are people that swear by lithium polymers, but even a 7.4v can explode or burn ferociously if you're not careful.
