Stranded Energy in Battery Energy Storage: How Thermal Imbalance Reduces Usable Capacity

Stranded energy is usable capacity trapped inside a battery module when one weak cell hits a voltage limit first. Over time, thermal gradients create uneven degradation, widening cell mismatch and reducing deliverable MWh. This article explains how stranded energy forms, why legacy cooling accelerates it, and how immersion cooling maintains thermal uniformity to preserve usable capacity.
