I was being cocky a tried to fly through an opening in the forest and out over a lake. I swiped a branch, lost control, and landed in the water. I immediacy shut the motors down and took the battery out. I dried the drone with towels and placed it in a drying chamber.


The battery (95% charged) is now turning on by itself and the home button is blinking red and 4 LEDs are staying green.

Is the battery trying to discharge itself? I'm keeping a close eye on it. It's not getting warm or anything.

If the battery got wet, it's toast.
 
The battery is working but I don't trust it. The drone, gimbal, and camera also seem to working. I'll post the crash video later

What do you mean by "is now turning on by itself " Because that's not normal.

The battery LEDs light up like in the picture. The battery functions when I plug it into the drone and I can fly around but I'm not about to take it far and high

I posted the video. The satellites kept jumping between 4-5 when I crashed.

I like risky flights but I won't be doing that anymore.
 
I am please to announce that the bird has fully recovered after diving into 1m of water.

I did however replace the battery for good measures.
