Turn it off, remove the battery, and put it in the dishwasher on a gentle setting. Then wait a week or two for it to fully dry before powering on again

  Is joke. At least 98% joke, but 2% serious in that you can technically do this. Best practice would be to discharge caps first. The only danger is in it still being wet when you put electricity through it.
  
  I forgot the battery is actually in the cartridge, so as long as you take the game out, it should be good. Cr1616 for rtc/saves.

    Only with reaaaly soft water. With hard water the calcium is gonna fuck it up.
    
    The battery is only present in cartridges with save data.

    On original/oem carts, but on ever drive carts there is also an rtc.
