Battery fire control

A system comprising:

• an array of Lithium-Ion battery packs having respective battery pack support structures;
• respective media reservoirs positioned over the respective battery pack support structures and configured to hold non-combustible smothering media;
• smothering sub-systems interposed between the Lithium-Ion battery packs and the respective media reservoirs and configured to automatically release the non-combustible smothering media in response to a fire;
• potential energy storage mechanisms configured to automatically displace the Lithium-Ion battery packs away from the array;
• and
• a sensor configured to detect the fire at an individual distressed Lithium-Ion battery pack and cause a corresponding potential energy storage mechanism to release, resulting in movement of the individual distressed Lithium-Ion battery pack away from a remainder of the Lithium-Ion battery packs of the array.
