Internal short circuits are a leading cause of battery thermal runaway, and hence major safety issue for electric vehicles. An internal circuit with low resistance is called hard short, which causes high current flow that leads to an extremely fast temperature rise, gas generation, cell swelling, ultimately rupture failure.
