I put my drill battery in its charger and plugged it in and forgot it outside. That night it rained and the charger got all wet. I checked the battery and it still works but the charger doesn't light up at all. I tried a few outlets to double check it but there's still no charging light. Is it ruined?
Is my drill battery charger ruined?

If it for a ni-cad battery, don't feel too bad if it is wrecked. If you have to get a new charger and drill with the newer lithium battery, you will be thankful that this one got ruined. The new lithium batteries are miles better.
