Would personally much prefer to see a fishpaper bridge. I also try to avoid routing near larger soldered wires because they can be sharp.

I would personally prefer to see a piece of fishpaper in between there, in addition to the tape.
Also that balance wire solder joint at the bottom looks very sketchy.

ah ok thanks. I already had FG tape there to hold the wires down so I figured it would be usable. Should I replace it or is it just something to keep in mind for the future?
also the solder joints did look janky to me too, but a hard pull didn’t move it so I decided to keep them.
You can leave the tape, but I’d definitely add a strip of FP under the wire.

I thought this was an interesting read on spot welding technique and testing from a non hobby/PEV source:

I’d personally reflow these joints so they’re a bit more cohesive. I’m not sure if it matters though.

I chose not to as they didn’t budge after a hard pull and I don’t wanna keep heating up the cells

Check with @Fosterqc and the Battery Clearing House thread, someone mentioned talking to the BCH people to try and find out one way or the other.
To me, they dont look like they have the three laser weld lines in the middle of the bottom of the can. Hard to tell from the picture on that listing though.

same kind of cells used in the Floatwheel battery and other cheaper eboards. they call them tesla cells but like these, are not from tesla’s hands.
