Internal Short Circuits: The Hidden Threat

- Xi1; Xi1; FLT: 0 XI3; XI3; Type 1 (Anode- Cathode): XI1; FLT: 1 XI3; XI3; The classic XIO caused by a dendrite or contaminant parties cringle cringing the e separator. It often starts with high resistance due te to the small contact area, making it diffict tt to contact until it propagates.

Te danger lies in definection. A developing Type 1 short might show only a slight voltage drop or increase in self-discharge over weeks before causiphically failing. Robuss BMS algorithms are essential to o defott these subtle anomalies.
Overcharging andd Over- dicharging
Overcharging drives the cathode potential too high, causing solvent oksydation and gas generation (CO2). It also considers the anode potential too low, leading to aggressive lithium plating. The result is rapid internal heating and a high probability of thermal runawy.
Over- discharging (bringing a cell to 0V or below) reverses thee potential el difference. The copper current collector at te anode dissolves intro the elektrolite and can later plate out as metallic copper eterwere, creating permanent internal nal short objects. This is why BMSs systems strictly enforcie voltage limits (typically 2.5V to 4.2V for NMC).
