Systems and methods include a heat transfer body with opposing major surfaces formed from a thermally conductive substrate in intimate thermal interaction with an alumina exterior surface that extends across the major surfaces of the body. In an illustrative example, the heat source may be a substantially planar, silicone-based heater source (P-SBHS). The heat transfer body may be configured to thermally interact, for example, heat from a heat source proximate a first of the major surfaces to a second of the major surfaces. A temperature sensor module may be located, for example, proximate to the first major surface such that a temperature sensor thermally interacts with the first major surface. The temperature sensor module may, for example, insulate the temperature sensor from the P-SBHS.

An example battery safety evaluation system may include a battery having a housing and an interior battery compartment. The battery safety evaluation system may include internal sensing elements attached to the interior battery compartment and configured to capture data representative of an internal battery condition event. The battery safety evaluation system may further include an external sensing element attached to the battery housing and configured to capture data representative of an external battery condition event. In addition, the battery safety evaluation system may include a controller for determining a cause of the battery condition based at least in part on a time sequence of events generated from the internal data captured by the internal sensing element and the external data captured by the external sensing element.
