If they get to the point where they don't seem to work... cut them open, spread the pellets on a cookie sheet and let them bake at about 100 degrees in a regular oven for about a half hour. Then pull them out and put them back in the zip locked bag.

If you ever get a piece of electronic equipment that gets 'soaked'... immediately remove the battery, dry it out as best you can with simple paper towels and then put it in your little bag with the silica gel pellets for a day or so. Smaller devices that are more tightly packed may take as long as a week (PSP, DS, Cell phones, etc.)

After removal, replace the battery and charge it up... all should be fine.

Hope that helps!!!
Great info MMZ, thanks!
