the slight issue that maybe the tape will warm up and bare wires slip out, shorting and costing you money, and you can get packs of 50 butt connectors for a couple bucks

hmm..well electrical tape is made to not heat up. plus i never figured out how to use the connectors. i only recently started using ring connectors for the battery. but hey i never said i wasnt a noob.

I've always just twisted and taped and never had issues. Good form is to solder though lol.

I haven't had luck with the butt connectors. I have had those slip off. I guess if a guy crimped them correctly, they would work.
