Battery Safety Another consideration of Battery Thermal Management is ? re safety. When short-circuited or overheated, lithium-ion battery cells can enter into “thermal runaway”, an intense exothermic reaction. Temperatures of a failed cell can reach 1200 C, and often will involve adjacent cells by
