Thanks for the info fechter, that's enough to convince me that that this is probably not the best way to go at this point. :thumb:
I don't understand the BMS circuit enough yet to be skirting this close to the danger zones.
Pretty much decided to forget the connectors and go the traditional route, and use a straight up wire harness. I'll try to beef up the balance wires a little for more harness abuse, and I think the whole thing will be easier to manage without all the connectors.
Looks like I can slip the BMS through the frame without too much trouble, and attach it to the frame tubes in back as the battery is installed. (wasn't sure I could do this before)
The problem still exists when I put the battery together though,.. with the side plates. I'll have to heed your warnings about the sequence and clamp the side plates with the balance wires first, and the main battery cables last.
Hopefully the clattering of contacts in the initial clamp-down won't send the BMS circuits into any confusion.
