Short Circuit Current of the Cell Pack
Short circuit current refers to the instantaneous current generated by the cells or battery pack during a short-circuit event. This current is typically very large because the short circuit causes a rapid increase in current, which may far exceed the current during normal operation.
Function: The short-circuit current reflects the potential current that could be generated within the battery pack in the event of a short circuit. The magnitude of this current depends on the internal resistance of the battery cells, the external short-circuit resistance, and the chemical properties of the battery.
Hazard: The short-circuit current can be extremely high, potentially reaching hundreds of amperes or more. Without timely protection, this could cause the battery to overheat, emit smoke, or even catch fire or explode.
