The banggood light arrived today and i needed a place to store two eneloops while i was working so i used its envelope, and it fell out when i brought everything in. It landed on the neighbour’s lawn and i just found it somewhat encrusted in dirt and wet, it has rained pretty hard for the last 6 hours.
Its the first generation(?) with the vent holes in the positive end. It still measures 1.37V
Apologize to it, beg for forgiveness, and buy it a box of candy.
Do i detect a slight hint of Sarcasm there. 
there are plenty of eneloops in the sea, and i’m currently juggling over half a dozen, so no flowers and candy or valentines day dinner
Put it in a bowl dry rice?
Aren’t these things pretty much watertight? They don’t have vents like li-ions and it wasn’t subjected to any kind of pressure from submersion.
However, like slim said, rice would be good if you’re feeling a bit cautious or stick it in a ziplock bag with some of those “do not eat” silica packets you get with a lot of electrical stuff and food.
If it were me I’d just charge them, the slight warming would dry up whatever moisture was around it
Aren’t they cheap enough to avoid all “risks” and buy new ones?
I just bought 3 packets of em and changed all household remotes and whatnot to Eneloop AA batteries, sick of crappy Alkaline batteries leaking and killing stuff!
If the positive end isn’t rusted too much, it’s fine. Just blow into the vent holes and you’re good to go.
That usually does wonders for me! :party:
If water go into the little holes; wouldn’t blowing into them be bad because you’re driving the water deeper?
?
The seals on these cells are water and air tight… unless some fault caused the cell to rupture. A little rain (or even a lot of rain) is not going to hurt them.
As long as it takes a charge and lasts as long as it did before I think you're fine. Has anybody heard of an eneloop catching fire or exploding? I haven't
I have, but it was, uhhhh, let’s just say provoked… even then, it wasn’t too eventful.
Details please :)
Let’s just say intentional 20+ amp charge into a AA cell until it burst…
That makes perfect sense.. Did anyone ever tell you you're a crazy person?? lol!
Who? Moi? J)
Oh, and I should have said charging at 20C not 20 amps…
why did you do this?
cause he's a pyro
