wet battery

[phishtraveler]

i haven't posted in a while.....but i dropped one of my batts into a hot tub on wednesday ; ' (

it was only in the water for a partial second....then i turned it upside down (LED up) and left it to dry out for the past two days. at this point i have not tried to use it....not sure if it will work at all or not????

anyone have ANY experience with this? how long should i let it sit before i try it?
i am thinking about 72-96 hours.... would you recommend low oven temps with carto removed? 150 degrees or so?? how long?

Is it an auto or manual? If it's a manual, it'll probably be fine. Either way, put it in a bag of rice, like a cell phone. Give it about a day and try it out. Good luck!

+1 to what JC sir said.

If it's not completely dry Phishtraveler sir you can short the battery out or fry the pcb.
