Wow incredible and reassuring to read this. And here was me worried about a little scratch on mine the other week ;-) It seems they can take a fair bit of rough handling then.I know this is an old post but I thought i would share a picture of my 2.5 year old LiFePo4 48v 12amp battery repaired abused and pushed to destruction by my 1000w DD Ebay motor kit.
No fires or venting from the pouches has ever happened with these cells, just as well as i use a backpack.
These cells are rated as a 2c (24amp) max discharge they were being pushed to nearly 4c (40amp+) by this motor kit. but still lasted 1.5 years with this setup.
