Bryce, that depends on the size of your heat shrink. My team uses appropriately sized heat shrink that covers the wire and the entire terminal and associated hardware.
But you are correct - you need to have the entire connection covered. It's a safety thing... with our robots and tools primarily being made out of conductive materials, we do not want to short the batteries and deal with the ~500A current that will result.
