Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for inhibiting combustion. One system includes a battery and a combustion inhibiting device disposed adjacent to the battery. The combustion inhibiting device includes a material forming an enclosure. The material is configured to at least partially melt if a temperature of the material is greater than a threshold temperature. The combustion inhibiting device also includes an oxygen absorber sealed inside the enclosure to inhibit oxygen external to the combustion inhibiting device from contacting the oxygen absorber. In response to the material of the combustion inhibiting device at least partially melting, the oxygen absorber is configured to absorb oxygen external to the combustion inhibiting device to inhibit combustion.
