The 2560 has 16 analog inputs. You need 18 if you want to monitor all of your cells, so, a mux shield. But all you really need BMS for when bottom balancing is shutting off the charger, so you really only need to monitor one cell - the weakest one/quickest to charge.

Here is the relay I bought (but haven't used in my car yet):
