4@12v = 24v
I'm installing 4 -12v AGM batteries to power a 24v inverter. This is my first choice for wiring: and my second: Any pros or cons to either one?

This is how I have the 2000w inverter wired to its own bank of two T-1275s. No extra linking wires needed.
It gets messy if you want to monitor with a Trimetric shunt on "the neg post" but the idea still works. (You can't then keep the pos and neg the same wire lengths) I ran it that way from four 6s in the past. Saved having to use parallel links.
( I have the rest of the rig on its own battery bank so there is no connection with this bank as shown so I think that would be similar to having a separate 24v bank, so the method shown should work ok)
