Whether unterminated wires were problematic would be
dependent on the circumstances. On a new plane, I wouldn't be
surprised to find wires with unstripped ends, tied off to the side
awaiting some as-yet un-purchased option.
Now if the loose ends (literally) were stripped and showed
signs of having been previously connected to something - that
could be worrisome.
The report speaks specifically to several
wires not mated to terminals on the contactor.
That the battery and contactor had been recently
moved but without benefit of crimp tools. "Channel
Locks" were used to install terminals.
A hardware store torch and solder could have
provided secure if temporary connections.
