Bathtime.
And I'm pretty danged neat and tidy handling my stuff, so we've only HAD a couple baths...ever.

Ran her pretty much down to the last drop.
Start the water running hot.
Drop in the drip tip in the sink. And the atty. Grab the o-ring before it goes bye-bye.
And just as the mod tips into the flow - - you know what's coming??

Not the end of the world, especially with fresh water, batts can take a dunking and survive just fine if you dry them slow overnight in a warm place...(even better, place them in a bowl of uncooked rice)

I went swimming in the chuck (not by choice) down in Mexico with 2 of my 4 batts in the pocket of my board shorts...this was back in the day when I was using protected batts...the protection boards shorted with the salt water and the batts where dead come morning (not good being in Mexico and all...) I borrowed a sharp knife from the bartender and grabbed a pair of nail clippers and carefully removed the protection circuits, back in action, the batts themselves where fine.

Obviously not ideal as protected batts tend not to be "safer chem" batts but desperate times call for desperate measures...
