Bus bar layout sanity check

Just wanted to sanity check this bus bar layout for a 16s pack with CALB 180Ah cells. The positive and negative terminals without bus bars on the right will be used for the BMS and inverter connections. In case anyone is wondering, yes I have the longer CALB bus bar to bridge the connection on the left between the two rows.

Looks OK. The only tip I can give is to see if running cables from the inner terminals of the first two cells is any easier than if you were running cable from the outer terminals of the first two cells. I laid out my busbars like in your picture. When I was done, I stepped back and wondered if using the outer terminals would have worked better.

The downside of the alternative layout is that you have to run a cable to attach the two columns instead of using the short busbar. For that reason alone, I could be very creative wiring from the inner terminals of the first two cells.
