I think the problem is the fires keep reigniting and they have to be doused with water constantly or they drop the car in a big container full of water and let it sit there for a few weeks is one way they have been tackling the problem.
Those battery packs are basically a tray, a bunch of batteries inside the tray, and then a cap on top with fusing and sealant around the outside. Once salt water impinges the battery pack it’s basically impossible to apply any firefighting material to the actual source of the fire. It burns like an incense and then gets more intense as the fire spreads within the pack.
oh yea... salt water and batteries really don't go hand-in-hand!
Aren’t they supposed to be using foam for lithium fires? If I know that then all firemen should know that by now.
