The surge in demand for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries has led to the exploration of high-C (high current draw) discharges in various applications. However, these high-C discharges introduce significant challenges related to battery performance and safety. This exploratory study aims to investigate early current interrupt device failure detection mechanisms in 18650 lithium-ion batteries subjected to discharges up to 16C. Our controlled experimental setup induces a 40 amp discharge to a single lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide 18650 cell. Employing digital image correlation techniques, the structural changes in the battery are monitored during discharge, pinpointing subtle deformations and strain patterns as potential precursors to failure. This data, coupled with voltage and temperature measurements, offer a more comprehensive understanding of the battery performance under extreme conditions, allowing for future methods to further enhance safety protocols for high-C discharge.
