• The invention is a cost-efficient device made of a SMA that is shaped to maintain the electrical connection between a lithium-ion battery and a conductive plate. At a manufacturer specified temperature (higher than the operating temperature), the SMA returns to its original remembered shape, therefore breaking the electrical connection.
• The invention prevents electrical overheating to prevent fires and save battery cells, making the battery repairable.
