I wonder what the actual technology behind the cobra coldcut is? At least there is something to put them out. I was surprised they were using water. I thought that was a no-no?

That was not a lithium fire. They had the interior catch but they never got to thermal runaway. Show a lithium fire in thermal runaway get extinguished. Not sue what they were trying to even show there.

It’s okay to put water on a lithium fire, it will cool and suppress but not put it out.

Here's Tempe FD showing you it really works to extinguish the battery fire and keep it from reigniting.
