Thermal–runaway (TRA) is one of the most challenging phenom-ena in valve regulated lead–acid (VRLA) batteries. When a battery is charged (usually under float charge at constant voltage), its tempera-ture rises due to the internal chemical and electrochemical reactions and Joule heating. When the generated heat is balanced by the heat
