Did a night flight, had to change batteries. Put the used one on my deck, flew with my second battery. It started to rain, forgot my battery I left on the deck. Rained for about 20-30 minutes. Didn't realize until a few hours later that I left the battery outside.
Brought it in the house without even tapping on the button on top, let it sit on a table until the following afternoon. Had no dessicant or rice, so went out and got some rice, put the battery in a bag with it. It's been sitting in it for about 24 hours now. I'll probably wait another 24 hours to check it, but figuring it's toast.
What has been your experience with a wet battery? Should I have not used rice? Will it recover? Should I do something different? Upset because I am taking my Air 2 on vacation next week, and I can't afford a replacement battery right now.
Thoughts/opinions....
