Well, actually having them zip-tied might have actually helped to prevent something like this (I don't know if they were or not, but the tighter the connection, the better). Under high load, if the connector becomes slightly disconnected, then there will be an arc between the conductors, and viola, welded battery connectors!
Besides, if you are drawing enough current to cause the connectors to melt, then you certainly wouldn't want someone to try and grab that very connector to disconnect it, would you?
