My concern is that with thermoplastic insulation and no fuse, melting insulation could be a major disaster. But mechanical compromise (like high-centering) could be just as disastrous.
Ah, but you are supposed to have a FUSE in each battery box, so if the two wires coming from it ever short, the fuse limits the fault current. The fuse is also a convenience place to open the circuit when you need to work on things.
