The dataset contains thermocouple-based surface temperature measurements from two series of lithium-ion battery thermal-abuse experiments. The first series consists of continuous-heating tests, in which external heating was applied until ignition to quantify the time interval between the safety-valve breakage (SVB) event and subsequent ignition. The second series consists of interrupted-heating tests, where heating was deliberately stopped at different times after SVB to evaluate the safe intervention window and characterize delayed-ignition behavior.
In all experiments, thermal abuse was initiated using a flexible external heating pad delivering approximately 41 W of constant power. Two cylindrical cell types were examined: (1) 18650 nickel-cobalt-aluminum oxide (NCA) cells with a nominal capacity of 3500 mAh, and (2) 21700 nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide (NMC) cells with a nominal capacity of 5000 mAh.
The unit of time is seconds, and the unit of temperature is degrees Celsius.
