Spot Thermal Runaway Risk Before the Test

Explain how FMEA separates failure mode, cause, effect, and control in a battery safety review.

A hazard is not actionable until the failure path is visible. FMEA turns vague battery safety concern into a traceable chain. The method asks the team to separate what fails, why it fails, what happens next, how the team currently controls it, and where the next action should land. Failure mode is the loss of function Name the specific way the battery item can stop doing its job. In a cell, that might be separator shutdown failure, lithium plating during fast charge, tab weld fatigue, electrolyte dry-out, pouch seal leak, or swelling beyond stack pressure limits. In a module, it…
