what charge port do you want to use? barrel jack? Also what enclosure you using>
You should just hook it up with a 5-8A fuse, do you need the battery indicator to be built into the deck? Some people use a battery meter that plugs into the charge port.

I know this is a noob question but what is the best layout for a 6s3p 18650 battery? My layout is having three layers, each layer is 6s1p and you link the main leads of the three layers. (I have never made a battery so any help is appreciated.)
Must be less than 6" x 4" x 2"
This might be a bit longer then you want

No, I need battery layout (which and where each battery connects to each battery) not enclosure.

Draw a pic of your current plan and we will try to spot any issues with it.
I have but I cant post it because I just made my account

Looks reasonable, It is more standard to make 3P groups then connect them in series. Your balance wires would basically do that, so that would make the wires more work to hook up and arrange to prevent possible shorts.
This is a common mistake for people leaning to make packs so there is probably a more robust reason to not do that. Someone else will hopefully chime in.

Yeah but with series connections for every cell like in the first pic. Parallel connections transfer basically no current it all goes though the series connection.
