Under overheating conditions, the energy flow distribution in a module comprising 280 Ah LFP batteries allocates more than 75 % of energy to heating the battery itself (Q ge), approximately 20 % is carried out by ejecta (Q vent), and only about 5–7 % is transferred to the next battery [35]. Bottom and side surface heating is higher than the large surface heating, and the overall
Lithium-ion batteries have a high energy density, storing significant energy in a compact space, making fires intense and hard to control. Overheating in one cell can trigger a chain reaction, leading to a rapid and uncontrollable temperature rise (called ''thermal runaway''), potentially causing explosions or fires.

Lithium batteries power our modern world, but their potential for explosions is a stark reality. In this article, we dive deep into the causes and prevention of lithium battery explosions. Common Causes for Lithium Battery Explosions: Overcharging occurs when a lithium battery receives more electrical charge than it can handle.
Several large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fire incidents have involved explosions. The large explosion incidents, in which battery system enclosures are damaged, are due to the deflagration of accumulated flammable gases generated during cell thermal runaways within one or more modules.
In severe cases, it can cause the battery to rupture and explode. Bending a lithium battery or subjecting it to a strong impact can cause internal deformation. This deformation can lead to mechanical failure of the battery’s components and create conditions ripe for thermal runaway, where the battery heats uncontrollably.
Some of these batteries have experienced troubling fires and explosions. There have been two types of explosions; flammable gas explosions due to gases generated in battery thermal runaways, and electrical arc explosions leading to structural failure of battery electrical enclosures.
Overcharging and overdischarging are critical factors that can lead to lithium battery failures. Lithium batteries are designed to operate within specific voltage ranges. Exceeding these limits can lead to significant safety issues. When a lithium battery is overcharged, it can result in excessive heat generation and electrolyte breakdown.
