Why compression will not extend battery life (something else kills your batteries).

Many people are asking me frequently why I don't compress my batteries to extend their life. The datasheets of the EVE cells show that compressing makes a difference in cycle life.
In this video, I will explain why it does not matter if batteries are compressed, clamped or 'fixtured' or not. There is another enemy which actually kills the battery before they reach their cycle life: calendar age!
