Case Study - Single Cell Li-Ion Battery Failures: Impact and Lessons Learned
With the advancement of technology in modern systems, there has been an increased demand for electrical storage to power these systems. In commercial, automotive, and aerospace applications, this demand for additional power storage has driven the adoption of high-capacity energy storage systems (ESS). These systems most commonly rely on Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries. Li-Ion batteries have several key advantages, such as energy density and good cycling performance. However, Li-Ion batteries are vulnerable to thermal runaway if damaged. A thermal runaway in a single cell can lead to a cascading failure and major fire event.
