IDK ... different scenario but if an EV battery runs away in a car on the ground, it takes some 10-12,000 gallons (or more) of water to cool the reaction (and then it often reignites behind the tow or in the yard). You honestly can't put the damned things out in any conventional sense. They may belong on a slow boat from China but, IMO, not in the cargo bay of any aircraft - fire suppression system or not.Occasionally my mind drifts to the "lithium battery fire on the cargo deck while we are 3 hours away from the closest place-you-can-stand-and-not-get-your-feet-wet up at FL370 out over the Pacific" scenario.
I'm sure that fire suppression system is going to work perfectly.
