Default Li-poly waterlogged

I have a brushless / li-poly set up on a plane with floats. My plane took a dump in the water saturating everything including the battery. Will I be able to use this battery in the future?[sm=drowning.gif]

Wash in distilled water then in denatured alcohol, dry at 100 F for 2 or 3 houirs. and it should be OK (assuming this wasn't salt water).
