Yep. That is a very good point and a reason for me to consider two chains since I don't expect my gal to even consider rewiring the pack if one cell breaks on the road. She absolutely hates the idea of electrical shocks and even static electricity makes her whimper so to tell her to rewire a 144 Volt pack into a 138 or 132 Volt pack to get home is just not going to go down well.

Switching from A+B to A or B on the Big Safe-Looking Breaker that's Well Insulated is an entirely different thing...
