Rain kena, fan also cannot settle

Eh hello, foodpanda run kena heavy rain, pack soaked, then hide at the bus stop. Next morning housemate say leave under the fan overnight and charge. But fan dry the outside only. Water may have damaged the pack, so stop using and charging it and ask the maker or authorised service provider to check. Outside dry doesn’t show what happened inside. Don’t charge it to see, even for one quick trip. Rain stopped, question still there.

Fan theory cannot settle it

Aiyo, don’t open it, poke it, or touch or sniff it to check. Ask the maker or authorised service provider to check it. If it is hot, leaking or damaged, don’t ride with it, courier it or carry it to a shop; ask first. House fan can go back to cooling the house.

fan overnight? fan not battery inspector leh

What now

Stop

After water exposure, stop using and charging the pack.

Don’t test it

Don’t charge, open or poke it to find out whether water got inside.

Get advice

Ask the maker or authorised service to check it. Don’t carry a hot, leaking or damaged pack to a shop; ask first.
