[Q] HELP! S4 Mini battery gets wet!

[mddazone]

Hi, I dropped my S4 mini in the water for a few seconds and dried it by putting inside a bowl of rice for 2 days. The battery gets wet as well and seems to be damaged, but the phone is able to be on after inserted my mpj backup battery. Is there any way to fix the wet battery or should I just dump the original battery?
Thanks!

Battery unit is a tightly packed one and drying it, incase water seeps through,
is difficult.
Bad battery is first in the list of things that does physical damage/ burn your device.
SO IT IS BETTER TO BUY A NEW BATTERY

Few weeks ago client brought me LG E975 with "swollen" battery to change it for new. When I disassembled phone and start to peel off battery it just starts to burn with regular fire. Be careful with water damaged batteries cause it can be dangerous.
