Also, You can test the wires and connections by measuring voltage drop. Take your handy dandy volt meter and put the leads directly onto the posts. Note the voltage. Now move 1 lead to the cable terminal. The voltage should be the same. Now move the 2nd lead to the terminal. Voltage should be the same. Continue moving the lead down the line to the next connection.

You can also measure voltage of individual cells by putting 1 lead in the 1st cell and the 2nd in the 2nd cell. Move the 2nd lead to the 3rd cell then 4th etc. Voltage should increase evenly and be ~1/6 of total voltage.

Professor Google and Duck Duck Go have lots of info.
