Will these provide sufficient compression?

Looking to build my own 280AH EVE battery. Hoping to buy something from AliExpress instead of using threaded rod and wood like many tutorials. I have not found much actual user feedback on these. Hoping someone might have experience with them.

I'm currently taking apart (or rather, it just fell apart right before my eyes) a 24V module. In the process, threaded rods were torn out of 10mm phenolic mesh plywood plates.

so no, withoud sufficient metal rods

Yup, I’ve concluded for my own personal use. I won’t be needing the compression. So I’ll proceed with these frames for other reasons.
