Abstract
A battery pack comprising a housing defining a volume. The battery pack includes a battery module arranged within the housing, where the battery module comprises a plurality of battery cells configured to provide an electrical output. The battery pack includes a first detector positioned within the battery module proximate to the plurality of battery cells, where the first detector is configured to detect a deformation of one of the plurality of battery cells to identify a potential thermal runaway.
