You are probably right. Safe over sorry. But, I've built some battery packs. This one required one soldered joint and a crimp fitting . It is working good so far. I will test more to be safe. It is going in a SPAD airplane so no big loss for me. I'm flying it on my private airstrip so no one will get hurt except maybe me. I can use my tractor as a shield. Weighing the risk factors it is a go for me. No so at a club field until it has proven itself.
