Batteries soaked in juice

[jtphenom]

Hi Friends,

So I spilled some juice on a couple batteries. I didn't realize I had done it until a day or so later, and now they are stained with juice over about half of each battery. Does this pose a safety hazard at all?

Thanks!

Probably not as it’s unlikely it got under the wraps, but if there’s any doubt in your mind I would rewrap them before use. You just really want to be sure they’re really dry. Again, if in doubt rewrap. It’s easy to do and provides peace of mind.

don't think anyone would be dumb enough to respond.so I do think they will be fine if they are completely dry and the wrap is intact and not loose.

sorry eskie did not mean to call you dumb,that was for me.

If you have a regulated device if there is a battery fault your board should tell you. For a mech mod I'd test them on a smart charger or regulated device just to be sure the positive end didn't get anything under it.

I very much doubt anyone has tested batteries pre-soaked in e-liquid so you'll have to go with your gut instinct.
Using logic i would suggest that e-liquid around the battery would make absolutely no difference to their efficiency. They're sealed units.

The casing is the ground, as long as it hasn't soaked inside the wrapper top to bottom, you're fine. Start rubbing the wrapper pushing from top to bottom, if liquid comes out keep doing till it doesn't. When it's dry you're good but I'd probably buy more batteries and never use the soaked ones (if it did get in the wrapper) in a mech mod.

The juice goes in the tank not on the batteries




Wipe the batteries off and vape on.

Wipe them off real good, then hang them out to dry overnight.

Now's the time to learn how to rewrap.

If there's a insulator I would i know the ijoy 20700s tear if juice gets on them

hmmm ... a new trend?? steeping batteries in e juice ??

Improves the mAh but at the expense of sticky fingers from handling them.

No worries, I’ve been called worse.

Simple answer has been given. Just rewrap. Why take any chance when the fix takes, what, 5 minutes?

Safest bet is to rewrap. With that said, I've had a catastrophic leak (or several) getting to "know" RTAs, and I usually just take the batteries out immediately and wipe them down, checking for any leaks inside the casing or tears. I let them dry out, and assess whether or not I need to rewrap. Usually, since I catch them early (these days, LOL) I don't need to rewrap, but when I am in doubt, I do so. I've gotten to the point now where I can pretty much tell if I need to rewick an RTA a bit BEFORE it starts leaking, but believe me when I say I have leaked onto batteries and not had catastrophic results (though I do exercise care and caution and etc.)

I had a battery fall into a glass of red wine and after a quick wash under water and let it dry out it is still in service daily. Unless it is some serious amount of e-Liquid you should be fine but when in doubt re-wrap or recycle the batteries.
