Abstract

This paper takes NCM lithium-ion power battery as the research object. The internal reaction mechanism and heat generation are considered when the lithium-ion battery occurs thermal runaway (TR). The lithium-ion battery TR model under thermal-electrical coupling abuse is established by using temperature as the coupling factor. By comparing the heat source position, charging rate, and discharging rate of the lithium-ion battery, the effects of different working conditions on the internal parameters and TR characteristics are analyzed. The results show that the greater the charging rate, the higher the peak temperature of the TR; the TR trend of normal charging and overcharging is basically the same, but the overcharging voltage will continue to rise and exceed the rated voltage; different heat abuse positions have little effect on the overall temperature distribution. The above conclusions can provide theoretical basis for early warning and prevention of lithium-ion battery TR.
