Interesting Reads ... In looking at how those researchers are talking allot about EV batteries/ I am wondering if compression of LiFePO4 are much more important for Electric Vehicles as compared to stationary home solar battery banks ... Just wondering out loud; / ... while thinking if I eventually compress my 16 280Ah LiFePO4 cells on my next battery pack update, I would also want flexible bus bars. I am still wondering about real life benefits on my stationary cells that have very slight wave on sides / showing me my LiFePO4 battery cells sides are not exactly flat planned.
from interesting reads: " ... research indicates that optimal battery lifespan occurs when a moderate amount of pressure is applied to ensure electrical and thermal connections while the battery ‘breathes’ during its discharge and recharge cycles. ... help prevent delamination and deformation in pouch-type, actively-cooled, Li-ion battery packs, thereby keeping more EVs and hybrids on the road every day."
