- Internal short circuits: In some cases, the internal components of a battery can become damaged, leading to a short circuit. This can cause the battery to overheat rapidly and fail instantly.
- Manufacturing defects: Batteries can be subject to manufacturing defects that can lead to instant failure. These defects can include cracks in the battery casing, faulty connections, or contamination of the battery cells.
- External damage: If a battery is subjected to external damage, such as being dropped, punctured, or exposed to extreme temperatures, it can go bad instantly.
- Overcharging: If a battery is overcharged, it can cause the battery cells to overheat and fail, leading to instant battery failure.
- Sudden power surges: If a battery is subjected to a sudden power surge, it can damage the battery cells and cause instant battery failure.
