Macbook pro water damange

Hi,

I spilled water in the back of my macbook, so the water went in. I dried it out for a few days and reopened it. It is now operating just fine but the only thing is that the battery is damaged. I have to keep charging my macbook otherwise it will black out. My battery status shows "replace now". So looks like the only thing damaged here is my battery. I don't know if there is still water residual in my laptop, and I don't know if I should still use it before I have it looked at by the store. My appointment is coming up in 4-5 days. If someone can give me some suggestions that would be great!

Thanks!

Suggestions for what? Take in on your appointment date.

If you have AppleCare+ it will cover a large portion of accidental damage.

https://www.apple.com/support/products/mac.html

AppleCare+ (similar for iPhone and iPad, each incident of accidental damage) for Mac will carry its own price tag. Screen damage or “external enclosure damage” will run $99 per incident, while other damage, including water damage, will run $299. Users receive coverage of two incidents under AppleCare+, and after the two incidents have been used up, out-of-warratny replacement rates will apply

In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

I said in my original post that I don't know if I should still use my Macbook while waiting to send it in for examination, as I don't know if there is still water residual in it. So far it is operating just as usual with power plugged in.
