Comment by rent0pat 6 hours ago How are circles optimal???Circle packing = 90%Blade battery packing = 100% 3 comments rent0pat Reply epgui 3 hours ago it's not just a basic geometry problem, it's an engineering problem. You need to account for far more details. cyberax 21 minutes ago It's more complicated. You can't pack the battery at 100% anyway, because you need cooling. Cylindrical cells are also more rigid, so they need less supporting material, or they can even be a part of the support structure itself. moogly 2 hours ago With cylindrical cells, you have more leeway in the overall shape of the battery pack and can fill nooks and crannies with them.
