Which risk increases when thermal runaway produces elevated battery temperature?

A)Decreased electrolyte ionic conductivity
B)Reduced Arrhenius rate constant
C)Exponential gas generation rate
D)Increased mechanical creep resistance

💡 Explanation

The gas generation rate increases exponentially due to the Arrhenius equation. Because the reaction rate increases exponentially with temperature, thermal runaway accelerates gas production, therefore leading to increased pressure inside the cell, rather than other effects.
