The device integrates an algorithm to aid in detection of a battery internal short. Internal shorts in Lithium-ion batteries are caused in many ways, including, but not limited to, formation of lithium dendrites, manufacturing defects inside battery cells, and compressive shock. Once formed, the internal short may become stronger over time. Internal shorts can be estimated through an observed elevated rate of self-discharge.
Since shorts can occur in each phase of the battery life (manufacturing, shipping, end application use), monitoring of the battery should be done throughout its lifetime.
