Claim 0:
1. An electric aircraft, comprising:
a system for venting battery modules in the electric aircraft, the system comprising:
a plurality of battery modules, wherein each battery module comprises:
a module monitor unit (MMU) configured to detect at least one measured battery data and generate a thermal datum as a function of the measured battery data for each battery module; an independent seal comprising a plurality of mica layers; and a vent conduit, wherein the independent seal is positioned between the battery module and the vent conduit; and
wherein the independent seal is configured to: seal off the battery module from the vent conduit during a typical operation of the electric aircraft; and unseal the battery module from the vent conduit as a function of a thermal event, wherein the plurality of mica layers of the independent seal breaks apart during the thermal event;

a computing device communicatively connected to each MMU of the plurality of battery modules, wherein the computing device is configured to determine the thermal event as a function of the thermal datum from the plurality of MMUs;
an electrical bridging device in electric communication with each battery module of the plurality of battery modules, wherein the electrical bridging device is configured to:
disengage at least a catalyst battery module associated with the thermal event from a remaining plurality of battery modules of the plurality of battery modules through a switch of a contactor, wherein the contactor is in contact with the electrical bridging device; and
transfer electrical energy across the remaining plurality of battery modules through the electrical bridging device.
