An electrochemical cell includes a positive electrode including a first current collector, one or more first tabs, and a first active material. A negative electrode includes a second current collector, one or more second tabs, and a second active material. A separator is disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. A resistive coating is configured to at least partially coat one or both of the first current collector, the second current collector, the one or more first tabs, and the one or more second tabs.
