The probability of thermal runaway in lithium ion battery grows with number increase of charge/discharge cycles and increase of cells of SOC. With the number growth of cells charge/discharge of cycles, there is an obvious decline of initiation of exothermic reactions of thermal runaway and increase of release energy.
There has been a dramatic increase in the use of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the United States. These systems are used in residential, commercial, and utility scale applications. Most of these systems consist of multiple lithium-ion battery cells. A single battery cell (7 x 5 x 2 inches) can store 350 Whr of energy.
