I don't have that exact tester, but one similar. I'll see what the
batteries do.

It's funny that you should mention the boats. That is exactly what
I was thinking about. We have had a couple of instances where the
battery of a boat was submerged for whatever reason. Not only was
the battery fine long term, but in some cases there were electrical
devices that were still functioning.
My very anecdotal and non-scientific answer is that if the battery
still shows a good charge when you check it out, it will probably be
fine long term.

You sink a lot of boats? Are you a pirate perhaps?

pure water doesn't conduct electricity... I have watched boats sinking
with the lights on all the way till the water turbidity obscured the
lights 30-40 feet down...

Their vent valves are one way check valves so it is probably just
fine.

and Water I had an equipment box that got completely submerged due to
a water main break. All the equipment like routers and UPS are
toast, but would the 100+ AH AGM Batteries still be good? I haven't
had a chance to put a voltmeter or anything on them yet, but could
they be 'trusted' since they were fully submerged for several hours?
