Juice on battery

[Moonface]

Is it dangerous if juice leaks through 510 pin and onto battery? Can that cause a short? Like dropping a hairdryer in a bath? Water and electricity?
Just found juice on top of my battery :0

I had a leaking atty and stopped using it until I could figure out what was causing the leak and fixed it. If you can't fix it, I would use something else. For me, it's better to err on the side of caution.

What atty are you using?

From what I've learnt a while ago is that e liquid won't cause a short like your thinking. I know I've had liquid on several of my battery's without any issue. I would try to fix the problem so it doesn't happen on a regulated mod if you have one. Hope this kinda helps.

As already mentioned, you might want to sort out the leak since a hybrid offers no barrier.
I had a juice covered battery on a mech and never discovered the cause of the leak as it was an Atlantis tank on top that seemed fine.
The battery was hot but not crazy hot. I recycled it anyway and have always wondered if the juice was the what caused the battery to heat up. In any case, I'm sure it isn't good for the cell.

If it doesn't short across your atomizer posts, I doubt it'll short across your battery terminals. Don't take my word for it, though, battery safety is nothing to with.

Fun fact: water doesn't actually conduct electricity very well. It's the impurities in the water that make it conductive. (Again, don't take my word for it. This is just what I have been told.)

Don't worry about it too much, of course its not ideal but it won't do any damage. I had a pair of batteries get absolutely drenched in my noisy cricket. They had black spots all over that looked very ominous. I took the wraps off to inspect, and the black dots on the metal rubbed off really easily, clearly just crusty juice. A quick wipe and a rewrap and the batteries are fine.

I'd worry more about bacteria from old, festering juice inside your battery wrap. Best to cut, clean and rewrap it. I keep a few rolls of the stuff handy.
