No, there is no breaker internal to the battery. There are batteries available that have all kinds of protection built in but not these. That is why a protection device is needed to keep the battery from supreme damage, explosion, etc. Everyone should get a good look at the pic above. This is a mild example of what this battery could do. That burn mark could just as easily been a students arm.
