Found one with the bottom protection cover partly unglued, that exposes the metal case which is also the Positive terminal of the battery. The active metal case of this style of LiFePO4 is why I questioned the decision to just lay 4 of these cells together and wrap them in tape, that blue metal cover is pretty thin, if a pair of cases punctured through for any reason that's two batteries shorted.

These 12v batteries were also targeted at off road vans and 4WD solar.

Maybe I'm just been paranoid
