Disconnecting Cleaning Bat Cables & Terminals
I'm seeing a white powder at the bottom of the battery tray as well as some around the cable/terminals. I've taken pictures of the ( 4 ) 6 volts and ( 2 ) 12 volts so I know where to return the cable...

Fireup, I really don't want to sound critical of your battery setup....from what I can see, it looks to me like a factory wiring setup. I'm just curios as to what is the norm? Is it much like what you have or more like what I have (sorry no pictures, not really that important). I have one cable to each post of the batteries and a couple 12 or 10 ga wires to a couple of them. I have a 2000 watt inverter which is much like most other MH's. I just can't understand what all the other cables are? More like is that the norm or not? Again, I'm not picking at your setup or anyone elses similar setups.
Hershey,
You're not picking on anything here. Just making a statement. As for the "norm" who the heck knows. I never have/did trace all the parasitic wires, both the positive and negative, out to see where they all went. I just moved them away from the battery posts for a cleaner setup. I have seen a few battery compartments that looked way worse than mine did before I changed things around. Below is a couple of pics of my house batteries before and after. The before show, (3) 12V Interstate SRM 429 Marine/Deep cycle batteries, and the after picture shows (4) Costco 6V Golf Cart Deep Cycles and, a cleaner wiring than with the 12V units.
