Abstract
A battery and related methods are described. The battery can include a plurality of battery cell segments. Each of the battery cell segments can include an anode segment, a cathode segment, and one or more current limiters. The one or more current limiters are configured to conditionally electrically isolate the battery cell segment based on an occurrence of a short circuit within the battery cell segment. The battery can be used to store electrical power and/or provide electrical power to a load.
