Error disconnecting battery hardware

While taking apart the hardware that connects my bikes 42 volt lithium battery, I made a mistake that allowed the live positive and negative wires directly connected to the battery to touch momentarily two or three times. I stupidly almost shocked myself. I didn't notice how the lines could still touch. It blackened parts of a bolt, cut a small thin washer, and made sparks.

Did I just ruin my battery?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
