Buddy. Air is not the a medium with a high temperature Coefficient. Silicone is
still dont get it 
Why do we insulate

use this and youâll figure out.
higher temp = less cell life
Well. like Einstein said: âIf you cant explain it simply, you donât understand it well enoughâ
Wow, really. Now its my time to LOL
you dont insulate a battery, thats like saying lets insulate a heater lol

And yet there is insulation between each wrap of cell paper
if you knew what you were talking about then you would know what your saying is funny
yes and if you were to remove heat shrink on cells you would get a lower temp
Of course I know that the cells need to be as cool as possible,
and that is for protection, but at a certain point its unnecessary and just causes more heat.
Me and my buddy was even talking about getting heat shrinks or a fan
i could also ask you why Tesla does not have heat shrink on their cells?
But the excess silicone glue, will not take more part in a temperature rise than regular air
thatâs my argument
it will trust me.
a cell will run way cooler if it is not in a battery pack, any material will trap heat, so if you didnt have silicon at all the cell would run cooler.
i even said it will cause a minuscule temp difference
Silicone: Coefficient of thermal expansion 2.4 x 10Ë4 / °C
Air: * Thermal expansion coefficient at 0°C and 1 bara: 0.00369 1/K = 0.00205 1/°F
silicon is not a heat sink lol it wont dissipate heat
Dude they use it as moulds for porcelain and such
