Thermal runaway refers to a situation where an increase in temperature changes the conditions in a way that causes a further increase in temperature, often leading to a destructive result. Typical causes of thermal runaway events can be forced discharge of electrodes, which are insufficiently wetted by electrolyte, or excessive discharge currents, as in an internal or external short circuit.
