Very common for water/electricity problems to take a while to show any signs. The water causes the metals to corrode and, as the corrosion "flowers", two conductors can come into contact. Depending on conditions, the leak could have been there for years before things shorted out.

Edit: The battery tender was probably just coincidence.
