Nov 3, 2019 at 23:04 comment added Russell McMahon I was referring to the condition described in your first paragraph - a single battery on its own with whatever protection it has being internal to the item. In that case some examples have a series fuses designed t one time limit gross discharge for safety reasons. I agree that with many batteries and situations inbuilt protection circuitry will prevent this happening. (They usually use back to back N Channel MOSFETs to form a "switch" and a current sense resistor to. )
Nov 3, 2019 at 3:56 comment added jw_ @Russell McMahon Can you provide some reference? Short circuit won't kill the cell, that's the most important function of the protection IC. The fuse (if any, I suppose there is no fuse in smartphone battery) will only function in case the protection IC fails, i.e. a second level protection.
