Date: 31/07/2021

Lithium ion batteries are regularly in the news because of individual batteries catching fire. But most people don't know, what mechanisms are in place to keep batteries safe.

In this video, you will learn what the mandrel (also center pin or winding core) is, how it works and why it is important to prevent battery fires and explosions. In addition, you will also learn when it can cause a problem. 

Throughout the video, I am referring to the following papers and resources:
