if this gets sumbermeged under water completly will that effect the batteries?

The batteries are completely sealed in a compartment seperate from the rest of the working of the water gun. However dropping this into the pool or any water over three feet deep could overcome the the seals (due to the water pressure) and soak the batteries. I have gotten this quite wet while refilling it and never had water get into the battery compartment. That being said, if the batteries do get wet they certainly could be affected and have a very short life span, not to mention corrision in the battery compartment. Hope this helps.

I have ridden mine in the rain. The batteries are encased in a nylon zippered case in the bin under your feet which has a wooden screw on top. I suppose if you were worried about lightening it might affect your going out. Other than that tho, the batteries will not get wet that I have experienced.

No I don't thing it works under the water. I wouldn't try it. I didn't see any o-rings or waterproofing on the flashlight. Sorry.

Yes. My husband runs it under warm water after each use. It never seems to interfere with recharging it.

If you use any battery larger than the one included, don't use in water. The hull will split open where the tape holds it due to the larger size of the battery. Water will ruin your electronics.

I have never tried that. If it is not salt water, I would guess there would be no problem. AA batteries are sealed, so water might get into the pump motor, but most of those are designed to run wet. Please understand, this is only my guess...I have no firm technical knowledge about it.

I haven't tried it, but judging by the ones I have I would say no. Batteries would get wet

Not recommended unless the two batteries are not perfectly matched in charge and capacity. The weaker battery could cause the stronger battery to overcharge. If in storage, recommend checking the water levels frequently.

It is sealed so salt water should not be an issue. I also use in sot kayak. I bought a plastic container slightly larger than the battery. I put industrial grade Velcro on the bottom of the box and kayak bottom so the battery is contained and the wire connections to the battery are protected. The box is for holding the battery not for waterproofing. It is easy to remove for charging but stays secure and protected.

The charge port has a flip on cover so if you go in puddles it wouldn't get wet and the battery is a sealed lead acid. Shouldn't be a problem but I've never done that. Of course I live in Southern Cali - so there's been no opportunity to really ride in the rain here.

In my experience, the probe and the rubber covered wire are waterproof. I have not attempted to sink the housing with the battery.

No. Water leaked into the battery compartment. I drained it before it was completely damaged and sealed it myself. I think one of the two I bought is still damaged.

I would not call it all waterproof. The receiver and servos are pretty well sealed but the battery and motor are removable and exposed. There is a splash guard on the motor and the battery connection is splash proof but it would not work for long under water. My kids run it through puddles and mud all day without a problem. Upgraded the battery to a lipo for quicker charging and longer run times.

No, they aren't sealed in any way. Water can get in through the switch ports, the camera port and the microphone port, as well as the micro SD slot. Whether or not immersion in fresh or pool water would do permanent damage is hard to say. Lithium batteries don't cope well with short circuiting, so the most likely failure if immersed in water would be battery failure. Immersion in seawater would almost certainly corrode the internals.

I've dropped mine in the pool before without any negative effects. It should still essentially be usable under water.

Hi Ray! To answer that question as best I can... After much research I come to the conclusion that as long as you're not in the deep ocean, sure it is. HOWEVER, you wouldn't want any electric device to stay in watery conditions too long as the gap in-between the controller box and wire could lead to severe damage if soaked for long periods of time, as well as you're battery of any sort. Other than that a minutes in the rain wouldn't hurt.

I don't think I would take that chance, water could get into the battery compartment, slim chance but the humidity would not do the compartment any good. But I am not absolutely sure of this.
