thanks mark. i'm gonna research as much as i can about that open source minibms. it looks to be a LOT more along the lines of what i need. something where the entire bms can be built into a large pcb, and then have just a single wire running to each battery (since they'll all be connected in series) plus one additional wire to pick up the remaining cell at the end of the string.

right now we're using 60 conductor 300v rated ribbon cable, and it's pretty ideal for connecting things that need a lot of wires. the connectors are especially easy to install: you just squeeze the end on with a pair of pliers (or by hand if you have super gorilla hands) in maybe 3 minutes and you'r set
