Temperature shutoff circuit

I want to control a quite large current, around 16A, coming from LiPo battery.

In the case battery starts heating up, I want some sort of thermal circuit to immediately shut the current flow from the battery.

Is there a good ready made circuit for such application? What would you advise?

Maybe a temperature brick and then just analog input

Maybe you could strap a temperature sensitive switch to the side of it, if you can find one with the right trigger point. Doesn't get simpler than that.
