To provide a context, even the much older lead acid chemistry lasts for 300 to 500 cycles.) In cylindrical cells, pressure does not matter, but here’s the catch: a high number of contacts leads to a challenge in electrical resistance management. The IITM experience with durability was disappointing. So what went wrong?
