The first thing that came to mind was to use a blowdryer ('fohn') and thus pumping hot air into the battery compartment. If I were you I wouldnt put in the battery again before making absolutely sure all the moisture has dried up as each time you fire it up the camera (or parts) most probably shortcircuits, causing more damage with each new attempt.

p.s.
