Point taken but a dead short is gonna leave a big mark regardless of whether its 4S or 8S

Keep in mind that it isn't volts that kill its current/AMPS

A 12awg wire can only physically handle a finite amount of current

I personally run my 8S lipo's with 12awg wires and 35amp power poles so hopefully that'll reduce the potential damage.

I think 6S would be a reasonable alternative
