    It means a moisture sensor has triggered.

    Moisture sensors don’t typically cost $21k. They said the batteries were full of water.

      I think we can assume the moisture sensor was triggered then.

      Which is the part I don’t really understand. Aren’t these batteries pretty much all watercooled? Maybe the control electronics got wet causing it to keep the battery on in a flooded condition and thus draining them completely? Maybe just the moisture senser tripped, causing them to say, yeah, water damage, gotta replace it?
