So.... to say that you have evidence that compression actually reduces cycle life .... based on a very short clip of a pack being put together is pretty ridiculous and reduces your credibility in general.
Yes it would, fortunately i didn’t say (or imply) that. Putting words in others mouths greatly reduces your credibility.
My evidence of compression reducing cell life comes from Winston, and resulted in them producing a different cell casing for applications where their cells were stacked.
I haven’t worked with anyone from EVE, but i do have a good relationship with a chemist from LGChem. He works closely with Ganfeng, and they make an equivalent cell to the EVE ones - i know exactly how they are put together in pack form. Their assembly plant is practically identical to the EVE setup. I buy premade packs from them for my mobile applications. The packing tape is strong enough to hold the “compression” of the factory pack.
