Edit: Finished my install. Noticed the wire size for these sensor leads are 22 AWG, not 26 AWG as the manual says so that should make purchasing properly sized connectors so much easier.

Original Post:
I'm getting two Overkill BMSs, one each for my lithium batteries. These will Attach to Eve 280 ah cells with M6 laser welded studs. I'm having trouble finding parts on line. Sizes I'm looking for are:
M6 Stud to 26 AWG for balance wires
=============
I can't find any of these made, so what have you done for these connections?
In their instructions they list using 16 to 22 AWG ring terminals and a 3/8" ID ring. For ID, I will go with an M6 stud.
This will be the first job I will be crimping such small wires, and would like to know if you've used insulated or not.

=======================================================
Two 8 AWG Wires crimped into a 6 AWG Stud
=============================
So this is probably just a misprint and I know I won't be the last attention to detail guy to ever notice that the diagram in the instruction manual erroneously labels the two blue wires as three, but in my case since I'm getting 8 AWG wires, I will use 6 AWG to M6 Studs for crimping.
