Default Battery Moisture?

My brother has a traxxas bandit and drove it outside when it was really humid, now there is moisture inside the battery, is that bad or normal?

Well, if it was humid out, then moisture probably did get in there. I would let the pack sit so it can completely dry out before running it.
