The state of the art is to have a container, fill it with water, and put the car in. You then wait a week or two.
For installations like this one which just burned down the answer is mostly: Don't let it catch fire! And if it does catch fire, make sure that you built it with large enough gaps between each unit that the fire can't spread, because you're not putting it out.

As a firefighter I can confirm this.
What worries me though is, that this might work well for cars, but what about batteries in homes, like Tesla powerwall and alike?
We do not yet have any plans for those, you can't "easily" attach them to a crane and lift them into a container. They are built in basements, garages and more. This will become challenging in the future...
Also, maybe "dont use tricky NMC batteries for stationary storage, when LFT can be cheaper and safer".
Still, hypothetically, can you use a (large) hose to fill a burning MegaPack container with water to cool it down? Maybe possible shorts in the other pods will make things worse?
