i have had 0 issues with hot glue on any of my paaaacks (if they get hot enough to soften, you probably have bigger issues)
i’ve also seen electronics safe silicone

Lol yes if you have the patience
For this enclosure i used the CA/baking soda hack for instant grab at a few points, then stuck the rest of the wires down with clear Gorilla glue

pretty cool design. 
it is 5 years old. don’t judge pls owo
I did more than I had planned to on it. I was going to just pour the electric liquid tape on the wires half hazardly. I ended up doing as much as I could without just redoing the balance wires completely. it managed to survive with the previous mess of wires being free to move around so it’ll probably be more fine now 
I’m going to ditch this connector. My question is What is this and do I need to keep it? I plan to plug directly into the charge port.

Looks like a shunt resistor. You’ll need it to see current measurements

DC IN is where I’d connect the charger coming from the wall and the LOAD would be plugged into the charge port correct?

Any ideas how to test it out under a high load to see if it heats up in certain areas? I don’t want any problems to come up while riding it
Connect to an array of incandescent lightbulbs?

Can’t see inside of the wrap/kapton but the balance routing looks good. From what I can see, looks like a solid first effort. Assuming this guy is an antispark?

looks more like a fuse to me.

Outside looks good, do you have pictures of the build process? Otherwise it’s hard to say anything.
A large coil of nichrome wire in a bucket of water. Calculate the resistance to achieve the maximum rated current.
