So after a little bit of stupidity my spark and it's accessories got wet. Not submerged, just 'washed' in a brief river trip whilst SUP'ing on a charity event.
(I bought the spark to use and with the intent of IF it gets damaged it's less financially painful)
My question is, that I now have an RC that won't charge or turn on and 3 batteries that appear to be dead, does anyone have any advice about opening up batteries or the RC so they can be cleaned with IPA etc? or do I accept the fate and replace?
 
Ooh. That does not sound good.

I'd suggest: Watch some youtube videos about disassembling your spark and remote and take them as far apart as you dare, realizing that if this doesn't work, they're garbage anyhow. Then spread them out on a window sill where they'll get some sunshine and let them dry for a couple days.
 
Try a bunch of desiccant bags in your case, can get the moisture out. Tried on other electronic devices and it works if you’re lucky. Try this before tearing apart, I would anyways.
