✦ Synopsis
It 1s shown that thermal runaway can occur from self-discharge of sealed Ni-Cd batteries at elevated temperatures The process can be fast enough to rupture cells m batteries and cause physical damage to surroundmg areas Therefore the temperature of a charged battery must be hmited for safety reasons even on open circuit; the temperature limit will depend on the particular thermal environment.
