I want to parallel these batterieshttps://batteryhookup.com/products/...wh-ebike-battery-w-bms?variant=39335475675298 there is a 14AWG coming off of them.

48v15ah I will be connecting them to a 1500w motor. I am trying to think of the best way to accomplish this. I plan on connecting them a #6 wire to an anderson connector since thats the existing connector already there. It will probably be 4 packs total. I am struggling to find the best way to accomplish this safely. I need some sort of terminal strip and/or connectors. Any thoughts?
 
Grab a bunch of anderson 75 plugs and make a couple Y connectors and replace the connector on the battery and bike with anderson 75. Its slighty overkill but its reliable and durable.

Ps, buy ORIGINAL andersons, not the fake ebay ones. For bonus points also get the rubber boots to prevent water and crap from getting in. Or use sillicone to seal it up if you are a all-weather driver.
 
I like these, but not the most durable, XT90.

SB's are good and durable.

the XT90's get HOT. they can handle realistically 40amps in summer (think 80+ freedoms or 30ish metrics) but they are litteral little space heaters when you get above 30 amps or so.

the andersons are designed to do 75A without even getting warm.
 
Another vote for Anderson SBs -- the standard by which to compare all other high power connectors.
