S5 Battery Issue

Hi LTT forums! I have recently got a S5 LTE-A G906L from shipped from Korea and it was working fine for about a week, today when I tried to charge it, a notification popped up, saying: Charging paused, battery temperature too low. I immediately opened the phone and saw that it was wet, due to the indicator turning red. It was shocking to find water in this phone, as the most recent water activity I involved this phone was near the basin, when I accidentally pushed the phone into a bucket of water. I shook it dry and carried on with what I do. Does anyone has a fix to this issue? I don't mind opening this phone as I do not have warranty for it, as it comes from Korea and there isn't international warranty for this phone. Help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Just to add on, I have put the phone into a dry box after the incident, and it is still inside, as I am rather scared right now. Do I need to leave it inside for another 24 hours?

ZetZet. Ok I managed to resolve the problem just now, after sitting in the dry box for about an hour, I was able to charge the phone (hooray!) without the error popping up, but for some reason, when I checked the current for the charging, it was significantly lower! From an average of 1200mA, it has dropped to a mere 450mA, which worries me. So should I purchase a new battery or is the phone going to be like that and I have to deal with a slower charging phone? Thanks for your help :)

If you can get a replacement it will be best if not get a new battery
