Bob Rice used to call them "Trojan Teakettles." ;-) When I was running the C-car, I had a panel with 8 edgewise expanded-scale voltmeters to monitor individual batteries. (It's probably still somewhere in the garage.)
I like Lee Hart's ideas here though. His Batt-bridge is a quick way to at least get a warning when something's wrong. http://www.evdl.org/pages/battbridge.html I think I also recall him suggesting a line of simple LEDs, one for each battery. You can easily tell if one LED is significantly dimmer than the others.
