Compression is intended to prevent that. However, the cells also "breathe", they get a bit thicker when they are at a high state of charge and thinner when they are discharged, but this doesn''t happen evenly over the entire side of the cell. So, compression also risks creating very high pressure spots which can damage the cells.

A solar cell functions similarly to a junction diode, but its construction differs slightly from typical p-n junction diodes.A very thin layer of p-type semiconductor is grown on a relatively thicker n-type semiconductor.We then apply a few finer electrodes on the top of the p-type semiconductor layer.. These electrodes do not obstruct light to reach the thin p-type layer.

I came across a video that I''m hoping was being over the top, but it went on to say that once the cells are above 3.4v, the compression should not be removed as the cells could start to swell.

As I live in a colder climate, heat is less of a concern, but I think it would be best to have an end plate of 3/8" aluminum with draw bolts done finger tight, and foam between each cell, but on every second cell if you slipped in a sheet of aluminum about 1/16" thick which extended out 1 inch on all sides, this would act as a cooling or heating fin to bring the pack to

While it might work for padding, the item I used has a spec of 13 psi force exerted at 25% compression. The sweet spot for cell compression to extend cell life is right at the 9 to 13 psi range. Over that and cell life will be compromised, under it and cell life is compromised but is better than over compression and no compression.

Our goal with any compression frame is twofold: 1) we want to apply ~300 kgf (660 lbf) to the broad faces of the cells, and 2) we want the force to remain roughly constant over a small range of motion of our cells (generally less than 0.5mm (0.020") per cell).

The specification for cell compression is for the EVE 280 ah cells. so, while we don''t know what effect it has on other cells.. common sense would dictate that the cells be bound in some fashion to ease stress on the bus bars and MAYBE the compression will increase cycle life.

in setup with load cells, the force will be applied to two faces: cell end stop A, cell end stop B. four load cells will sense the sum of A and B. by summing the four load cell sensors there will be a kilogram/pound force value. by dividing this summed total force value by the surface area of both end stops, i believe a “force per unit area

I don''t know the sizes of these cells (and can''t derive ''Pounds per Square Inch'' on those big cells - but this comparable to the ''optimal'' force which EVE derived in their analysis.

The expanding cell pushes against the cells around it. The cells around it push back. The first level of pushback is the compression of the cells. All else being equal, they all see the force (300 psi?). However the cell in the middle sees the 300 psi, plus whatever force it takes to move the cell next to it to equalize the pressure.
