A cell undergoing a thermal runaway process is characterized by high local temperatures at the cell. Thermal insulator prevents the high temperatures from dissipating to nearby cells such that thermal runaway is triggered in the nearby cells. In addition, thermal conductors are provided that form conduction paths that draw heat from a cell undergoing thermal runaway and distribute the heat to other cells in manner that thermal runaway is not triggered in cells that are near the failing cell. If sufficient heat is drawn away from a failing cell, temperatures of the cells surrounding the failed cell can remain low enough to prevent the surrounding cells from undergoing the thermal runaway process. |
