The Salt makes the water more conductive. You will see tiny nitrogen bubbles coming out of the connector as the cell energy is released. Soak it overnight (if there is a good amount of voltage left in the cells soak it for 24 hours) then discard in the trash.
As Rcadmin stated.. Dont ever poke a hole in them....ever!
Just saltwatered a $70 LiPo pack. Those are hydrogen and oxygen bubbles, BTW. It's a process called electrolysis, I believe. If you catch the bubbles in a tube and hold a lighter under it, it will explode with a large pop as the energy is release to form water once again.
Where you get nitrogen man?
