Self-heating ignition of open-circuit cylindrical Li-ion battery pile ...
The battery piles of 1, 3, 4, 7, 9, and 19 cells were tested where the open-circuit cells were horizontally stacked and fixed by thin steel wires as the cylindrical shape. Then, the equivalent diameter (D) of this cylindrical pile ranged from 18 mm (1 cell) to 90 mm (19 cells), as illustrated in Fig. 2 c. 2.
