A vehicle includes a battery pack having a drain assembly. The battery pack is disposed within a housing. The drain assembly includes a conduit extending from a first end located within a housing of the battery pack to a second end outside of the housing. A valve within the conduit controls flow of a first fluid from the first end to the second end. An exterior sensor located exterior to the housing detects a presence of a second fluid outside of the housing. A processor places the valve in a closed state when the exterior sensor determines the presence of the second fluid to prevent the second fluid from flowing into the housing.
