This looks great - although, to add additional lifespan for the cells, I would have compressed them. OTOH, a compression structure would add more weight and much more cost.
The welded-on battery cell terminals are very interesting - and probably more convenient than screw-in studs. (With screw in studs, you must be VERY careful to apply the right amount of torque.) This is beautifully done!

What do you mean you say 'compression structure'?
