Which outcome occurs when thermal runaway in multiple lithium-ion cells?

💡 Explanation

Thermal runaway triggers a self-accelerating chain reaction because heat from one failing cell increases the temperature in neighbors, initiating similar exothermic events, amplifying the initial failure; therefore the failing battery gains significant uncontrolled energy output, rather than stabilizing through ionic balances.
