A method for extinguishing fires in electric batteries, particularly silver/zinc batteries, is described. The system consists of a vacuum manifold connected to the battery compartment and electrically actuated valves which operate in response to high temperatures. Opening the valve causes the combustion supporting gases to be evacuated from the battery housing and the fire is extinguished. The system may be used with ground support equipment as well as aboard spacecraft.
