I am mentally wrestling with how/best way to do wiring on this.

- Will the BMS fit in one of the cases and be OK? (heat buildup)
- Can the 11 of the balance leads be split off and have an easy disconnect plug going to the other battery?
- Is that going to drive the BMS balance calibration nuts?
- External lugs in the sides or top for suitcase interconnect? (disconnecting a main jumper without disconnecting a balance jumper might not be good for the BMS.)
