In extremely high external temperatures, the cooling circuit for the battery can be additionally boosted with the aid of the air conditioning system.

Officials said a circuit board and battery pack - parts of a triggering mechanism - had been recovered and the lid of a pressure cooker, apparently blown off during the explosion, was found on the roof of a nearby building.
The agency said it has also examined several other components from the plane, including wire bundles and battery management circuit boards.

Small flames were noted in one of the two incidents reported when gases escaping from the battery were ignited by an electrical short-circuit in the presence of ambient oxygen, but that was all external to the battery case.
FORBES: Boeing Completes Tests Leading To Resumption Of Dreamliner Operations
When Brocious and I tested his hack at three New York hotels prior to his Black Hat presentation, his device was a messy two-piece contraption, with a circuit board wired to a separate battery pack, and it only worked on one of three rooms we tested.

Proposed last month, the plan includes a redesign of internal battery components to minimize chances of a short circuit.
CNN: FAA approves proposal for fixing Dreamliner battery woes
To put it simply, the plan includes a redesign of internal battery components to minimize chances of a short circuit.
The FAA gave Boeing permission last month to test the revamped system, which includes additional insulation around each of the battery's eight cells to prevent a short circuit or fire in one of the cells from spreading to the others.
Ms Hersman said they were now following up two lines of inquiry - the actual cause of the short circuit, and why the certification process failed to pick up the defect in the battery's design.
The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal in Lake Charles, Louisiana, did the same with Bell's battery conviction in mid-September.
Highly condensed lithium polymer battery delivers an incredible amount of juice in a small form factor and features built in overcharge, short circuit, and temperature protection.

The FAA certified the 787 battery system even though lithium ion batteries are more susceptible to catching fire when they overheat or short-circuit than other types of batteries.
The spring is wound for half a minute, and then unwinds over six minutes, charging a battery in the process, and providing enough energy to run the radio for an hour. (This means the radio's spring-controller circuit is no longer necessary.) Thus, Freeplay has switched from making solely spring-powered devices to making battery-powered devices that are equipped with a clockwork mechanism for recharging and emergency use.
