That is fine, I don’t think you have too much to worry about them not being genuine unless you’re running them near their current limits
I would do something like this for parallel connectors too.
Good thread lol too bad it’s only able to be viewed by regular. I’ll probably find it in a different forum.
Edit: got it lol.
hmmm… Thanks!
I’ve seen diagrams like these for ages, and uhhh, was wondering what app you use to make them haha
Is it just Microsoft 3d Paint ?
Not sure what he used here, but Sketch.io is a good resource and I’ve used it to make similar things

That has a few problems, like the lighting and the battery meter won’t turn off when the loopkey is pulled.
Plus, learning to solder is highly recommended. Each of those connector pairs you need to cable-tie together (or tie with twine) so they can’t vibrate apart.
Try a circuit closer to this, and put the voltmeter in parallel with the lights.
Also, 10AWG wire will work fine but really 12AWG is all you need. Only use silicone-insulated, high-strand-count wire.

Is Visio still a thing?

I tried smartdraw but it wasn’t a succes for me. So I ended up in microsoft powerpoint

Ah I see you’re right. Thanks for mentioning!!!
I just looked at it and if I put the loopkey where the arrow points to, it will be solved. right?
And I will learn how to solder (at least i will try to learn)! What do you mean with cable-tie the connectors together? I dont understand

Your BMS will lose power when you pull the loop key, meaning you will only be able to charge the board with the loop key in.
This might be what you are going for, because in theory it means that there is no passive drain on your battery. But it might also be a pain in the ass.

It wasn’t my intention to charge only when the loopkey is plugged in. But I dont see the difference of my diagram and the one of @b264 . Does that diagram has the same ‘problem’ or am i missing something 
The difference is that in your diagram, the loop key is cutting the B- line going to the BMS.

Oh wait! I mean the red wire instead of the black one. Then it would be ok right? 
Your battery indicator should be in front of the loopkey, not behind it. The arrow isn’t really necessary for the loop key. You don’t want your indicator taking away energy.

no, put there except on the positive side
Tbh, I’ve never done it that way.
No because that’s cutting B+ from the BMS
