Tain't water, its soda pop, loaded with both sugar and salt.  Take the 
battery out NOW, and wash it out, best done believe it or not, in the 
dishwasher with no soap in the soap pocket, using as little heat as the 
dishwasher can be set to use.  Then dry, in this cooler weather on the 
north side of the equator, on a rack over a furnace vent, high enough not 
to get more than about 35C.  For a week or so.  Then put the battery back 
in & see if it will work.

Cheers, Gene

The biggest mistake you can make is to believe that you are working for
someone else.
