LiPo Battery swollen

[Benzion]

Hi there
I bought a Juggernaut 1 here in SA a month ago for about $2.85. Body were broken and there were no remote or battery pack.
Went to a hobby shop and bought a 2200mah battery, 2 cell, 7.4v and a 2.4GHz remote and receiver.
Here's my problem. The guys at the hobby shop tells me that there is no cut out on the battery and I drove the truck till the battery were at 3.7v. Now the battery pack is swollen and I have to buy a new one...
Any ideas or advice how not to stuff up the new battery pack?
Many thanks
Ben

looks like a cell checker with a low voltage alarm is the best possible answer?

It's late at night. More people respond to threads during the day. You might find answers then. Good luck
