Default EP500 battery waterproof?

hi

Somehow the battery of my mini pro found its way into the washing machine and made a complete wash cycle in there

Is it save to put it in my phone to check if its still working or can it damage my phone?

The battery looks fine on the outside and i noticed there is nowhere a image on it that says "dont put in water"



is it maybe waterproof

first thing is make sure your battery have really dry yet
then if you dare, try it to your phone
as far as i know, some electronic things is safe to be washed
but before use it, make sure it really have dry yet (like motherboard computer, its safe if you washed it, of course it have been plugged out from the case then use it when it dry)

sorry for my bad english

Best thing to do is get a new battery.

I for one wouldn't risk putting a 20 euro battery in my 250 euro phone.

Admit defeat and get a new battery, or you might have to suffer the consequences of screwing up a phone. If a single droplet is between the wrapping, it will turn into "steam" when it gets hot, and your phone might suffer damage due to the water that will eventually build up.
