As DansSLK stated, the car is parked indoors.
The battery cover has a drain channel that actually routes water to the floor of the battery compartment, and drains out from there. There's also a drain right after the slot that drains water out before the battery compartment.
The battery trickle charger that I have is not for outdoor use either. It has vent slots at the top of the unit. Battery Tender does make one that is sealed and used to charge batteries in boats.
For those who park outdoors and wish to use a weather-proof battery trickle charger. DansSLK's set-up is the way to go.
