Patent attributes
A battery cell system includes a battery cell defined by an outer housing. One or more sensors are positioned within the outer housing of the battery cell. Each of the one or more sensors configured and adapted to be operatively connected to a battery management system (BMS) to provide data thereto. A method for detecting an mitigating failure modes in a battery cell includes reading a battery cell characteristic with a sensor positioned within an outer housing of the battery cell. The method includes sending the battery cell characteristic to a BMS. The method includes determining whether the battery cell characteristic meets a criteria with the BMS. The method includes signaling a failure mode if the battery cell characteristic does not meet the criteria.
