The present disclosure teaches a method, system, and apparatus for the mitigation of internal shorting for improved battery safety. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed method for mitigating internal shorting in a battery involves sensing, with at least one sensor, an internal shorting condition of the battery. The method further involves producing, by at least one processor, at least one commanding signal to initiate motion of a filament breaking mesh. Also, the method involves moving, by at least one drive mechanism, the filament breaking mesh, upon receiving at least one commanding signal. Further, the method involves breaking, with the filament breaking mesh, at least one filament present within the battery.
