I think I will try to find a connector that can fit on either the 25 or 35 pin footprint to make life easier.

Of, here are a few of the things done:
 +
 +
*Board Shrinked
 +
*Mounting Holes Added
 +
*Battery Voltage Analog Signal
 +
*FET Driver Schematic Updated
 +
*Switching Power supply

Here is a low quality image of the layout.

Soon: 25 Pin connector and aftermarket connector.

I have found good connectors from Phoenix Connectors that I like. I will be putting the footprint for a 32pin connector on the PCB sometime. I decided to use a 32pin connector because that suits my PCB layout the best. I will try to make the pinout as close as possible to the 25/34 pin layout to make the change easier.

I shrank the board quite a bit. It is now 123mmx100mm. This will decrease the board cost and will make it easier to fit into aftermarket enclosures. I have found some really good enclosures for PCB up to 135mmx100mm.
 +
 +
A change to surface mount protection diodes reduces the amount of through hole components that I need to solder on.
 +
 +
A switching power supply is made because it will increase efficiency and lower the heat generated. I also dont need an intermediate voltage for the FET drives, meaning that I only need 12V and 3.3V rails.

After the connectors are sorted then the PCB should be finished!
