Li Ion batteries are highly engineered systems which have become part and parcel of our daily lives. Safety of these systems has been in jeopardy ever since they were created. Mechanical abuse, shot circuit, overcharging or unfavorable working conditions can lead to catastrophic repercussions which might destroy complete battery pack. Previous works have investigated this problem, but many important aspects of design characteristics were left folded.
This work not only investigates behavior of a single cell under adverse conditions but also lays emphasis on important factors such as thermal conductivity of the medium and cell gaps in a pack of multiple cells.
This work found its motivation from the severe accidents in the history which have not only caused damage to the system but have also endangered lives.
