So my option is build a BMS with arduino, which I'm considering for a future Mark II enhancement, or buy 3-4 separate chargers and balancers. I like the 3-4 chargers idea because I can charge the pack faster and balance the batteries.

However, like I was wondering, if I go with the 3 or 4 chargers, so I need a high voltage switch? or is there something I can get that will just automate the process of separating the packs? I don't want to have to flip 4 switches, plug in the bike, and then start the chargers. That's quite a process. My main concern is "what if I forget to flip a switch?". I'd kill my pack or do some damage.
