Cell 1—Border Cell

In this scenario the temperature difference showed the same affects on the current distribution, but considering the current of cell one in opposite direction. The temperature difference led to a lower current of cell one and an earlier starting of the crossing point, even compared to the reference measurement. The temperature gap in the thermal-coupled scenario affect more balanced cell currents compared to the reference. This led also to a lower SoC gap, which in turn reduced the current peak of cell two to *I*2 = 0.61 · *I*Batt. The isolation further decreases the current of cell one *I*1, which caused a higher discharge and charge rate of cell two compared to cell one.
