Due to space constraints, I'm considering stacking 8 Eve (or similar) cells on their sides and stacking vertically.
2 towers of 8 = 16 cells = 48v system.
Has anyone
a) Run their cells sideways?
b) Stacked 8 high?

I figure the stacking is the same as compression. That should be fine.
Sideways may be an issue for emergency venting, which i hope to never see.

Yes I did. It was a pain to fit them in the metal cabinet. I did have one cell leak some electrolyte but the cell is still good. Subsequently I sold that house sixteen months ago and changed the configuration. I bought more cells and now have a 3P16S pack in two rows horizontally.
