Abstract: This application discloses a battery box. The battery box includes a controller, a first sensor, and a spraying apparatus and an extinguishing agent pipeline that are located above a battery module. The controller is electrically connected to the first sensor and the spraying apparatus. The spraying apparatus is connected to the extinguishing agent pipeline. The first sensor is configured to detect a temperature of the battery box, and send a first electrical signal to the controller. The controller is configured to control the spraying apparatus to spray an extinguishing agent to the battery module. According to the solution of this application, when thermal runaway occurs in the battery box, and the temperature exceeds a set threshold, a fire may be extinguished in time, to avoid spreading of the fire and reduce a loss.
