I am attempting to rescue my LG cell phone which spent about 15 minutes in
about six feet of water in a fresh water lake. I took it apart, dried
everything out, and everything now works except the battery discharges much
more rapidly even when the cell phone is OFF. This is not the same battery
that was in the lake. Could it be the circuit board itself that is still
wet, and if so, will it ever dry out?


There is a conductive residue. A thorough washing with de-ionized water is
usually required. ^
