Abstract
A vehicle battery enclosure includes a first member elongated along an axis and a second member spaced from the first member. The vehicle battery enclosure includes a battery compartment between the first member and the second member. A wing is rotatably connected to the first member and is rotatable relative to the first member from a stowed position (FIGS.A,B) to a deployed position (FIGS.A,, and). The wing is aligned with the battery enclosure along the axis in the deployed position. A pyrotechnic actuator is operatively coupled to the wing to rotate the wing to the deployed position.
