If the wires are short, yes, it doesn't add much resistance, but i would not say that it can be ignored since it means that all other parts will heat up more and connectors could overheat and unsolder.
14AWG is definitely to small for a 60A rating and it was right and necessary to use 12AWG
you can compare with speed controller 3 phase wire's gauge#, motor 3 phase gauge#, it should use 12 AWG for 100A as well right ?
if connectors is overheated and melt solder down (~130C) then the speed controller's switching MOSFETs should already been damaged, or the bad contact of connector caused.
we did experiment by using lighter to burn the wire for 1 minute and live view its temperature as the result just raised around ~3C degree
anyway we already upgraded AWG12 on both NEPTUNE 20 and 15 for customer feel comfortable, for NEPTUNE 10 we still use AWG14 without any issues for skateboard application.

It looks like Pos (+) and Neg (-) wires are going to the BMS and away from it. Is the Pos (+) wire necesssary for the BMS to work, or can it be baypassed (as with standard BMS)?
If i order more than one BMS, would i have to order also the firmware for each?
Will there be support for iOS in future?
the POS(+) internally connected to Neg(-) with TVS_Diode, it can be bypassed, but why bypass ?
each NEPTUNE purchase must include 1 x HW and 1 x FW, the reason we split into FW and HW is because of import tax declare on shipping invoice.

no schedule yet.
