A battery servicing system comprises actuators and a controller, which causes the actuators to connect a fluid line 204 and an electrical line 206 to a battery pack 108 placed in a battery servicing station 102. The controller is configured to perform one or more tests on the battery pack to identify an anomaly or an adverse event in one or more cells in the battery pack. The controller causes the actuators to automatically disconnect the fluid line and the electrical line from the battery pack being tested to eject the battery pack from the battery servicing station when the anomaly or an adverse event is identified. The battery servicing system allows a safe disconnection and ejection of the battery pack. Preferably, the fluid line and electrical line are provided as part of a link harness 120 for easy connection and removal to the battery pack. Preferably, it is determined whether individual cells in the battery pack can be replaced or the entire battery pack needs to disposed of safely. In the latter case a container 124 may be dropped over the battery pack and engages with a lid 126 on which the battery pack is located.
