Too much compression? Attempted crushing...

[On_The_Road]

I'm curious - has anyone literally tried to crush a 280Ah pack with compression?

I've seen many threads debating compression and threads on how to dial it in to an exacting pressure.

But has anyone just gone to an extreme in compression? Not exactly to the hydraulic press channel extreme though ?

Why do you ask? Just out of curiosity?

some have tried compression after using the pack awhile, some resulted in internal shorts and fire.

i squeezed mine gently between neoprene sheets because they aren’t flat surfaces and I didn’t want pressure hot spots.

at some point I imagine the burst relief will pop and make a bad day out of it If you squeeze too hard.

Just curious - I'm not going to try it!

Sure, sure, you are just asking...

Asking for a friend. . .

I say try compressing a cell, then drill through the compression fixture.

Using a rifle instead of a drill would lead to more views on the Gram though....

Crocs would have to be in Sport Mode.
