Sorry, I have not been around much lately, busy with work and clearing snow!
I will have to catch up on this amazing thread soon, but just glancing I must say...
Don't EVER connect batteries in parallel like this!!!!!
If you require more capacity (amp hours) in a given series wired pack, then get larger batteries.
Also, when you are connecting in series, make sure batteries are of the same size, and capacity, especially if you charge them that way.
If you connect batteries in parallel like this, then make sure you have fire insurance and working fire detectors in your house.
I will shout that even louder if you plan to use lithium (ion or iron) packs.
In reality, there should be no reason at all to want to wire them in parallel.
Cheers,
Brad
