Technically lipo means specifically the pouch cells as opposed to cylindrical, I call them all lipos though, the part that maters is the lithium not the shape
I sure hope it is because of the 18650 and 18350 will live fine as I have a C8 XHP50.2 build as richard posted here (unless he used buck driver) and now it’s a ticking time bomb.
XHP50.2 definitely has a lower vF than original XHP50...it seems like with 2x18650 or bigger you have to use caution. My setup with 2x18350 seems to have been working fine. 2x18350 sags voltage pretty hard compared to 2x high drain 18650.
They must also be more fragile than XHP50....I've desoldered XHP50 from so much heat then reflowed them back on and kept going.

For the XHP50.2 and FET...I would try to use some long, thin wires (cheap and effective low value resistors).
Unfortunately I had already used the premium wires that come with your FET drivers. Too late. I also have the same setup with two 18350 and so far so good. But two 18650 and no go. I might add it to the site to add caution. I don’t want others to waste money too.
The last batch of 17mm and 20mm MTN-MAX 4-layer boards were botched---same design as before, but every single one has internal shorts that made them useless. I am waiting for more PCBs.

I will add a note to the XHP50.2 listings sometime tomorrow.
Asked via the Contact link also — is there a way to search/sort out only the protected cells?
When I search “protected” the software helpfully retrieves all the unprotected cells also.
I’d find it helpful to have a listing or a category for searching for protected cells.
Don’t know about anyone else, but if you sell a significant number, people are looking for them.
That would be a wonderful thing!! I love X6 hosts. It may be a pia for him though. Everyone that I’ve ever purchased from Gearbest had all of the other parts put in the same bag with the reflector so I’m sure you know how that story ends…luckily I mostly use the hosts for triples. It just makes me wonder if Gearbest does the crappy shipping or if they were shipped to Gearbest from Eagle Eye that way. I see that RMM often has marked down convoy hosts due to scratches and dings, hopefully he’s not having the same issue with any of the Jaxman hosts since he took them on. If he asks, Eagle Eye may ship them a specified way so not to damage anything.
