If a micro-short circuit failure occurs in one of the battery cells, it may cause a serious internal short circuit or even thermal runaway. Consequently, it is extremely important to detect micro-short circuit faults in batteries.
Micro-short circuit (MSC) of a lithium-ion battery cell is a potential safety hazard for battery packs. How to identify the cell with MSC in the latent phase before a thermal runaway becomes a difficult problem to solve. We propose a diagnosis method to detect the MSC according to the remaining charging capacity (RCC) variations between cells.
Though the probability of these failure events is estimated to be very low (1 in 5–10 million), the consequences of a cell failure due to a short circuit in a high energy battery system have the potential to be catastrophic . Therefore, it is an urgent problem to detect the MSC cell during the incubation period of thermal runaway.
One of the major unknowns about Li-ion batteries are the mechanisms and causes of internal short circuit. Short circuit in the battery could be due toexternal triggers like deformation of the cell, or due to impurities and defects inside the cell. The latter is a much more complex phenomenon.
A new, very promising method of precise and slow (1 μm s−1) needle penetration made it possible to generate the most safety-critical reliable short-circuit type—the contact between the Al-Collector and the graphite active material of the anode—as demonstrated on a 10 Ah Graphite/NMC pouch cell.
A quantitative diagnosis method for the micro-short circuit fault of lithium-ion batteries is proposed. The remaining charging capacity is estimated using the charging cell voltage curve transformation. Estimated the leakage current and micro-short circuit resistance with low computational complexity.
Can A Short Circuit Damage A Car Battery? And How To Prevent It
Yes, it''s possible — and even likely — that a short circuit can damage a vehicle battery.
