1. A cooling system for cooling thermal runaway in a battery, the system comprising:
- a fluid delivery system configured to transport a working liquid into thermal contact with the battery and further configured to permit the working liquid to vaporize upon said thermal contact to form an exhaust gas; and
an exhaust system configured to vent the exhaust gas from the fluid delivery system to the environment.
