1. A system for mitigating damage caused by the presence of a liquid solution in a battery system comprising:

  • a first liquid solution sensor, the first liquid solution sensor comprising a plurality of dielectric measurement contact points;

    a liquid solution detection system communicatively coupled to the first liquid solution sensor configured to detect a presence of the liquid solution in the battery system based on information provided by the first liquid solution sensor, the liquid solution detection system comprising a hall-effect switch configured to be actuated to implement a first action based on a current measured by the first liquid solution sensor exceeding a first threshold; and

    system; and

    a first valve communicatively coupled to the liquid solution detection system configured to be actuated based on the hall-effect switch being actuated to implement the first action.
