Short circuiting a battery means excessive current follows an unintended path, due to an abnormal connection with little or no impedance. This condition allows an excessively high current to flow with little resistance. An uncontrolled surge of energy can damage the circuit, and result in overheating, skin burns, fire, and even explosion.
The most likely mechanism of short here seems to be the physical deformation of the battery which leads to a conductive path between the electrodes. The abused batteries are then cycled in the devices and the testing data are logged. Batteries developing ISC due to drop is a probabilistic event.
Additionally, any excessive external pressure to the edge of the cell could cause a short circuit. This article will focus on the testing for burrs and particles inside the materials of lithium ion batteries. Figure 3.
The ISC is mostly caused by mechanical abuse, dendritic growth, or internal flaws, and results in a short-circuit fault where the positive and negative electrodes are in direct contact within the battery, has been the subject of extensive investigation [, , ].
The lithium ion concentration in the cathode of the leaking battery continues to decrease with greater degree of corrosion. Therefore, the voltage of the leakage cell continues to decrease; namely, ΔV max gradually increases. This is consistent with the results presented in Fig. 4 (b).
The risks of external short-circuit of battery modules with different voltage levels are tested for the first time. Two types of typical risk modes and influencing factors of ESC of battery modules are analyzed and proposed. The effectiveness and limitations of weak links for protection in external short circuits of battery modules are verified.

Leakage (electronics)
Another type of leakage occurs when current leaks out of the intended circuit, instead flowing through some alternate path. This sort of leakage is undesirable because the current flowing through the alternate path can cause damage, fires, RF noise, or electrocution.
