I saw many discussions about cell compression. When the cells swell, and the connections between the terminals/studs are rigid, some forces are transferred. So, if I understand it correctly, one reason for the compression is to lower those forces.
In the case of a setup of tight cells, which swell until the setup looks like a banana, I could imagine there are high forces on the studs. As shown in the attachment, I found here in the forum:
How robust are those studs? If a pack looks a little out of shape when assembled after top balancing at 3.65V with some foam between the cells and some duct tape, is that still OK? I fear some larger swelling later on, could cause damage. Suppose the connectors are already hard to assemble/disassemble. In that case, there is only very little tolerance left until high forces are transferred. If the cells are compressed by duct tape, some leverage might apply.
Are there flexible connectors for the studs? The connectors sent by LiitoKala are entirely straight.
