Here is how my pack is wired. I can email you the pdf if the pic doesn’t work out.

Hi Frank,
Both Nick and I looked at what that would take and Nick won't even attempt it. It will take some very creative cabling to make it work. You cannot put two (-) terminals together in order to parallel them with buss bars, they cannot be separated in order to accomplish that. My email address garyallen@cfl.rr.com

Frank, see attached pdf. This is what it will take to parallel them and use a BMS from Nick at EV Battery Center. I will be doing another drawing to show the ZEVA BMS 12-16 connections to the pack. ZEVA is a very good BMS from Australia that E36Racer is using on his pack. I spoke to Nick about this brand two weeks ago and it got high marks from him. Nick knows Ian at ZEVA personally. So if you are getting ready to make your pack and have modules in hand, you will most likely need a ZEVA BMS. I am waiting to get information on Nick and post it on an earlier thread I created today.
