Tried charging the battery today.....it's toast....I put it in the
driveway, attached the charger and battery via extension cord because I
did not want to be near the battery if something bad happened, like
exploding,.....battery won't take a charge.
On the hunt now for a new DeWalt.....it's not life threatening.....it's
only money....no worries.

I would disassemble it. The drill might be salvageable if you can
prevent the internal electronics from corroding away. The battery on
the other hand, it is probably shot. Being a lithium-ion battery, it
has an internal circuit board which has been powered up the entire time.
With the cost of most batteries you'd probably spend near the cost of
the drill just to replace the battery.
Good luck,

Genius here was attaching fenders to the slip with his 'lithium
ion battery powered 20V drill' and I kicked it over the side into
12 feet of salt water. It stayed on the bottom for 2 days but
yesterday I was able to retrieve it, flushed it with fresh water,
dried it and sprayed it later with WD-40 and left it to dry out in
the garage.
Is it a 'lost cause'? Should I have just left it on the bottom?
