Hi,
you should avoid high temperature rise on the flat metal tabs that are the direct battery tabs.
If your battery looks like this it has internal protection:
You can solder those wires just like normal wires. However, I would suggest putting a special process in place for assembly. Your process should make sure that:
-The wires never short out, possibly by only stripping one of the wires.
-The polarity is correct for each battery / product, this can be achieved by using different length wires for GND and V+ with matching pads on the PCB.
-The batteries are not crushed in any way, a special tray for manufacturing is often a good choice.
-That dropped or in any way damaged batteries are thrown away, maybe by putting a corresponding work order in place.
For the factory test (if you want to be very safe), I would implement the following steps:
-Discharge the battery and measure discharge time (and rate) and the battery voltage until the BMS cuts it out.
-Charge the battery full while monitoring state of charge and battery temperature.
-Discharge the battery to 70% (or what ever level your shipping company wants to have for air transport).
This obviously takes a lot of time, but it will catch a lot of assembly errors and bad batteries as well as bad BMS systems. A special rig that takes multiple units is needed to do this in a timely manner.
Another thing to consider is the housing, don't underestimate that Li* cells swell and deflate quite a bit. I would add a millimeter on top and bottom of the battery (on the large faces of the battery) to allow for that. The gap can be filled with foam tape, this also adds a nice level of shock protection in case the unit is dropped.
Best regards
