Appropriate external force constraints are beneficial to the lithium-ion transfer of the internal resistance of lithium-ion batteries, reduce the internal resistance of the batteries, reduce the deformation of lithium-ion batteries, and extend the battery life. In order to test the optimal stress state during the cycle of lithium-ion batteries, provide the optimal constraint force control during PACK matching, and improve the cycle life of lithium-ion batteries after matching, a core simulation stress test device is made.
