Re: A curious question.....

Water does conduct electricity however, if the sponge could/would carry enough current to overheat the battery is doubtful. When current flows it creates heat. The heat, in that scenario, would most likely evaporate the water in the sponge before overheating the battery to the point of explosion. That's my humble opinion.
