ingredient. The battery itself contains all the ingredient necessary for fire and explosion on its own, just like explosives. I doubt the sea water ever got to interact with the Lithium inside before the fire and explosion. It was the heat from short circuit outside the battery that caused the battery to heat up, start a fire and explode . . . only then the Lithium inside was released to be in direct contact with water, exacerbate the problem.
Segregating gasoline in the tank from air is a relative simple matter of placing the tank low in the car and having a pump actively taking gasoline out when needed (in addition to obvious tank integrity itself, which is a relatively trivial and well tested craft). Segregating the battery terminals in automobile application from all possibility of water however is much more complicated and untested; otherwise, there would be fording and snorkeling gasoline vehicles instead of diesel-only in that field. Not to mention there may be other causes for heating up the battery. Lithium-Ion chemistry can have run-away reaction when heated. That's the problem, unlike a simple pump cut-off stopping all gasoline feed from the well sealed tank.
