Personally, without looking at it, it is probably dead. I had a UPS do the same thing, but it was after a lightening strike. I opened it up and all the 'downstream circuits from the bank of MOV's that absorb voltages surges, were a crispy black or very brown. i only toasted 2/3 of the MOVs, but the charge circuit was still blown.
Water damage is different, but any electrolytic capacitors and possibly the transformer would need to be replaced. Water soaking them is not a good thing, even if they seem dryed out, water seeps into very tiny places. Just my thoughts. I have purchased UPSes from refurbups.com and they come with fresh batteries. ... no hook there, just a satisfied customer, ... that is basically cheap.
