Battery manufacturers provide a value of short circuit current which needs to be used for validation of proper protection device. Duration of this short circuit current can be of few seconds before a battery failure occurs. The characteristic current and duration changes depending on the battery type.
Short circuiting a battery means excessive current follows an unintended path, due to an abnormal connection with little or no impedance. This condition allows an excessively high current to flow with little resistance. An uncontrolled surge of energy can damage the circuit, and result in overheating, skin burns, fire, and even explosion.
The occurrence of an internal short circuit generates a large current and localized heat that can culminate in thermal runaway, especially throughout the battery's lifecycle. When Lithium-ion batteries are short-circuited internally, the development can be divided into initial, middle, and terminal stages.
1. Mechanism of Internal Short Circuits in Lithium-ion Batteries Internal short circuits in Lithium-ion batteries are short-circuited internally can be triggered under three conditions: mechanical, electrical, and thermal.
