I dropped my phone in the river.

Question

I dropped my LG3 COSMOS in the River.  I immediately removed the battery and let it dry for 3 days.  It now seems to be working when it is plugged into the wall socket.  When I remove the plug.  It dies.  Will a new battery rectify the problem or is  it toast?

It certainly sounds as if a new battery may fix the problem. It sounds as if the current battery is just not holding a charge. Keep in mind if it is the charging mechanism which has been damaged by the water, and not the battery, a new one may not help. Can't hurt to try, though.
