Abstract: External short circuit (ESC) fault, which can cause large current and high temperature, is one of the main reasons for battery failure. Its analysis and diagnosis remains a challenging task due to complex electro-thermal characteristics of batteries under ESCs. In this paper, ESC experiments at various temperatures are conducted to investigate the impact of temperature on battery electro-thermal behaviors. Based on the analysis of the experimental data, heat generation inside a battery caused by ESC-induced high current and side reactions is modeled. The heat distribution and diffusion are also modeled by considering battery's internal jellyroll structure. The combination of the heat generation, distribution and diffusion models forms a novel electro-thermal coupling model, which is used to predict the complex thermal and electrical properties of a battery under ESCs. The presented model is simulated and verified by the test data. The maximum root mean square error of ESC current prediction is less than 1.73A and the maximum errors of the internal temperatures and the surface temperatures are only 1.771% and 3.915%, respectively. These results verify the effectivceness of the presented model. It is expected that the presented model is useful for safety analysis, temperature prediction and fault diagnosis applications of the lithium-ion batteries under ESC.
