Abstract
Techniques, apparatuses, and systems for monitoring battery pack health based on detection of dimensional changes in the battery pack are provided. A sensor may be configured to detect dimensional change in a battery pack in at least one dimension beyond a first threshold amount. Detection of such dimensional change may cause a notification to be provided that indicates that the battery pack is potentially degraded.
