Sounds bad 
What type of water......de-ionised, tap water, river water, sea water???
Though, I doubt the batteries are sealed units so no way of knowing what effect water(of any type) will have on a Li-Ion battery????

My wife dropped one of her Fuji x10 batteries in a local stream. It was there for over a day until I found it. Put it rice for a few days and it was good as new!
However we bought new ones just in case, it wasn’t worth the risk.

The weird thing is that mine didn't do that - they look the same as before.

AFAIK the Canon ones in the dSLR's are Lithium Ion......are the Lithium Polymer type equally at risk of swelling and fire that have been reported in the past in regard of Li-Ion?
As for the risk potential of charging and continued usage IMO without some absolute clarity on their further safe use, I would hesitate and probably decide it was not worth the risk???
