Ron A silicon based spray sealer should work, just make sure whatever you use is air cured and not accelerated cured by using acetone or some other solvent that may get trapped and eventually cause corrosion of the cells or cell interconnects. Even if it buys you a couple of years that is better than throwing it away, just make sure it is safe and does not cause another fire!
