Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for swelling resistant pouch batteries. In one embodiment, an example battery may include a pouch having an aluminum layer with a first portion and a second portion, and at least one cell that is partially positioned within the pouch. The at least one cell may include an anode, a separator, a cathode, and an electrolyte. Example pouch batteries may include a circuit electrically coupled to the cathode and to the first portion of the aluminum layer, where the circuit is configured to cause a electric potential difference at the aluminum layer with respect to the anode, and a first electrical contact electrically coupled to the first portion of the aluminum layer.
