To your point about the single battery connection: I just wrote to
Curtis about that issue, is it the first battery or the whole pack.
Curtis responded: You are correct in your assumption. In our industry
a battery is referred to as the entire string of individual cells
making up the 'battery'.

This is taken from the installation section of the manual on your web site:

The connection reference to the "first battery" positive and negative
makes it sound like your only connecting to ONE battery. But, I assume
you need to connect to the very most positive and most negative to
measure the total traction battery pack voltage.
Can you help me understand this please?
