Understanding how Li-ion cell failure affects battery system design

  Research Group: Battery Systems
There exists an inherent variability in how lithium-ion batteries fail – an event commonly referred to as “thermal runway”. This uncertainty drives additional cost and complexity into the design and validation methods employed for battery systems created for electric vehicles, aerospace or stationary storage. Read more
