Going back about 35 years or so, guys racing RC buggies would waterproof their batteries and charge them in a bucket of cold water. I think they were something other than Lithium though. metal hydride?

I remember one guy got called for his race, he grabbed a pack from the bucket and disconnected it, looked at it for a second and threw it back in the bucket and shook his hand. "I'll use the spare"
