I just read the post below from @texas_shooter in a different topic, so I checked my Liitokala 4695E to see if it had the same construction method, and indeed it has. I just now realized that the ‘negative tab’ on top is just because of the cut out in the black insulator disc. 
You could easily cut a small piece of thin plastic into shape and glue it in or otherwise use a few layers of kapton tape to fill or cover over the tab. (I even thought of using some (UV curing) solder mask to cleanly fill it in and harden it.)

Thanks for checking it for us. And I agree, not difficult to mod in order to mitigate shorting risk. But even so, I’d feel better if it came from factory already in a safer configuration.

Neals gadgets got the new MATEMINCO MT90 But no info about the 46120 cell. Can anyone find the capacity or even the chemistry? It could be LiFePO4.
EDIT: I might have found the reason for why I wasn’t able to post links for the prices I came across. For an explanation see my new post below this one!
The Liitokala 4695E battery appears to be on sale Liitokala Official Store and the LiitoKala Enterprise Store, at least in the AE app (on my Ipad), but I’m not able to replicate those same offers on their website (on my laptop), so I can’t post links that (consistently) show the prices I just encountered.
I will post the links to the listings/stores below though, so maybe check it out for yourself and see if it does pop up for you!
The best offers I found (in the App) where from the LiitoKala Enterprise Store. They have/had the 4695E on sale for € 11,86 (which is already extremely cheap for a 46950), but with a store coupon and a small ‘coin discount’, I managed to get it down to € 10,38! (That is with free shipping.)
After that I tried to find out how low I could get the price of a 4695E, if I selected the option for multiple quantities, and eventually landed on the ‘5PCS’ “bundle” which was priced at € 50,53. With a € 2,68 store discount (for ordering above € 33,11), a store coupon of € 1,79, a coin discount of € 2,53 and an AE Summer Sale coupon of € 8,-, the price came down to € 35,53!
So I’ve got 5 46950 batteries for (roughly) € 7,10 each, including shipping! 
I would be totally amazed if I would actually recieve them for this price, but we will see. 
So it might be worth checking if those prices might pop up for you somehow:
The listing from the LiitoKala Enterprise Store:
And 2 listings from the liitokala Official Store:
By the way: I’ve got no clue yet what I’m going to do with the (hopefully) 6 incoming 46950’s, but a total of 180.000mAh could make a nice powerbank!

I know our motto is: “Do I need it: no. Do I want it: yes!”. But this looks like a frontal attack of the shopping spree bug.

I might have found out why I only got those offers/prices in the app and not on my laptop:
In the app (on my iPad) I’m logged in and I wasn’t in the browser on my laptop. I just noticed that the listing with those low prices is marked as ‘Wholesale’ (and: ‘Bulk savings’), with left of that a (greyed out) button for the ‘Retail listing’, which has the normal high prices. Apparently this is ‘Business listing’ with an “exclusive price”.
I’ve never applied for that ‘Business option’, nor do I run a business. I just looked at the regular Aliexpress website (not logged in) and then that ‘business option’ (and prices) are not visible. I did notice this page though:
Which shows the following banner, even if you’re not logged in:
Apparently, even when you’re not logged in, you identify as a ‘top shopper’!
Might be that anyone qualifies for AE Business?!?
Again: I have never applied for this, but I get to see those offers/deals anyway (apparently).
As far as I can tell this issue makes all the difference for those prices I mentioned above!
