The application looks good. Do you plan on data logging at all? Besides the Palm all is needed is a serial cable, like the serial cable used to sync the Palm and your software? In my next project I could use something like this.
There is the Paktrakr device that runs under $200 can monitor the batteries individually and with an optional shunt the current. I am using it without the shunt option in my Honda VF, I have a large analog panel ammeter hooked to a shunt for current readings which works great.
