Abstract
An embodiment provides a battery cell, including: one or more contacts; a material providing output power to a device via the one or more contacts; and a tab element forming a part of a temperature cutoff mechanism; the tab element being thermally coupled to the material and conducting heat generated by the material; and the tab element being positioned proximate to a geometrically determined heat center. Other aspects are described and claimed.
