Just wondered what it is and if it matters that the plastic is worn off in spots.

It's almost like that little flat bar connects the bottom of the battery with the top.

Tenergy protected 18650.

Thanks!
 
Okay thanks. I was afraid of that. Wouldn't you know it that I had to accidentally scrape it right there... I'll add tape or thin heat shrink if I have any that big.
