Why does the battery compartment have water in it and everything is corroded?

I have not experienced that, but my neighbor bought one and he did. I know he called the manufacturers at Pool Blaster and they sent him a new one. It all happened fast and He is happy now.

Sounds like it got wet. That doesn't mean it was damaged. If it charges and lasts a half day with use or a whole day on standby its prob working as well as mine does.

I'm guessing the leaking battery acid either corroded a terminal or it's covered with rust to the point it wont conduct electricity. You can try cleaning and inspecting the connections if you like. I wouldn't bother..just get a new one. Make sure you wear gloves. You don't want to get battery acid on your skin.

It is not really waterproof and you wouldn't want to submerge it in water. It may be ok to get a little water on it, but there are no seals to keep water from getting to the batteries and circuit board.

Hi Greg,The one I bought has the same trouble. I suppose it has to do with the lifespan of the battery. Remember batteries have limited amount of life charges. Every time you charge it is one life less for the battery. Since it happened recently I am still doing some research on how to change the battery without losing the impermeability.Hope this answer was useful, and if my english isn't good its because I am not a native speaker.

I would check that your batteries are pushed tightly down into the compartment. I haven't had any problems with mine at all, so I'm just guessing here. Good luck

I have not gotten it wet but the battery is in the center of the bag so it would have to get totally soaked to reach it! I wouldn't say it's waterproof. More a work bag then a backpacking bag.

The battery compartment is on the bottom, and it does not appear to be waterproof. Personally I would not chance it.

The battery is a normal pair of sealed lead acid rechargeable batteries that are used in many applications. (The translator apparently did not know the difference between "Seal" and "Sealed" when applied to batteries.) It won't be unhappy unless the water soaks the terminals, and then probably only if the water were ocean salt water. The bigger issue would be wiring and the electronics, both of which might be problems. I would not soak the Razor or intentionally drive it underwater. Incidental rides splashing through rain puddles on the drive way have not caused any problems so far. No experience with soaking rain. The water hitting your skin would not be comfortable, so I don't see it used in soaking rain much. I am sure the manufacturer would clearly disagree with everything I have said, insisting on dry use only. Have fun! Be reasonable, and it be OK.

Not enough information to answer directly. Most Common cause would be battery are wires incorrectly placed. Compartment is very tight, be sure your battery are seated correctly, and the wires are neatly tucked. Second make sure the rubber band strap is not streached out. A worn out rubber band will not have the power to pull the lid down for a good seal.without seeing pics thats the best I can do. Good luck mines 2 years old and still going strong.

No the battery compartment isnt sealed so water could get in if directly exposed to rain. But I had mine attached under a tarp for 3 months and many hard rain storms with out any problems.

you probably need new battery. when not using the dolphin for long period of time..it is better to not leave it in because it may be getting water. we had that happen before on older one we had and it was fine after that. kids didn'talways make sure the top was tight down.

A couple of reasons danger of over charging the battery causing the acid in the battery to boil gases build which cause it to blow up or crack housing and leak second it will flop around unless permanently mounted

There are 7 screws holding it together, the battery is replaceable "ks4. 5-12 sealed lead-acid". Check if there is battery water in the 6 cells.

New batteries, flush it out. Or maybe that part of it just burnt out. Sorry..

It does not appear to be waterproof, it's just a cheap plastic case around the battery and circuit board.

Sorry, I'm not sure. I don't think it is because of the battery compartment. I will check it and if it is, I will send you an email.
