Claim 3:
4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
monitoring a temperature or pressure within the non-metal-air battery pack;
comparing the temperature within the non-metal-air battery pack to at least one of a preset temperature or a preset pressure, the preset temperature corresponding to a temperature at which at least one of a plurality of non-metal-air cells within the non-metal-air battery pack enters or into thermal runaway, or comparing the pressure within the non-metal-air battery pack to a preset pressure, and the preset pressure corresponding to a pressure at which at least one of a plurality of non-metal-air cells within the non-metal-air battery pack entering into thermal runaway; and
wherein directing the air flow comprises opening a valve that controls the air flow from the hot gas outlet of the non-metal-air battery pack responsive to the temperature within the non-metal-air battery pack exceeding the preset temperature or the pressure within the non-metal-air battery pack exceeding the preset pressure.
