Abstract
An energy storage system including: an energy storage device including a battery core and outer casing; and a heating device at least partially surrounding an outer periphery of the battery core. The heating device includes: a first compartment having a heating pyrotechnic material disposed therein; and a second compartment having a phase changing material disposed therein. Where the first compartment has a first surface that contacts at least a portion of a second surface of the second compartment.
