It's probably fine. The batteries don't care about moisture, as long as the pins don't get shorted or corroded.
If they were wet enough to short, the symptoms are usually a completely dead battery or it seeming puffy, a.k.a. spicy pillow.
You can measure the voltage with a voltmeter if you want to check. It should read around 3.5 to 4V, depending on charge.
Source: I handle a lot of LiPo batteries at work.
I don't have a voltmeter on hand, but the battery is not puffed out at all. The positive and negative terminals did have some blue gunk form on them for the first few days I had it drying out though, like I said.
You can test it in the phone and see if it has any juice in it, then. If I were in your shoes I'd feel safe in testing it that way.
Well, I have the battery in the phone right now and I'm attempting to charge it since it didn't seem to have any juice left and it's acting a bit weird.
First, the phone's charging LED blinks, then the screen shows the battery charging screen for a split second, then the first frame of the boot sequence pops up briefly, then it goes back to black and the charging LED flashes briefly again, rinse and repeat.
I assume it's not looking good for the battery. I'll give it a moment and see if it holds a charge
Don't. Just don't. Lithium batteries are very nasty when they go wrong. They're not expensive to replace. The risk is absolutely not worth the reward. Dispose of it safely (dump it in salt water for a few hours then take it for recycling).
Thanks! I'll give it a go, hopefully there's still life in it
