The disclosure presents methods for monitoring of thermal activities within a vehicle's battery pack, using sparse sensors throughout the battery pack. The sparse sensors can be thermal sensors. Situations where a thermal sensor is in the location of a thermal event as well as where there is no thermal sensor in the region of a thermal event are contemplated. Each thermal sensor tracks temperature changes in specified regions of the battery, facilitating an overview of the pack's thermal health. By analyzing data from multiple thermal sensors, the system can help to identify areas that exhibit temperature deviations. If fluctuations beyond predetermined thresholds are detected, data can be routed to external systems, allowing for an external evaluation and response.
