Can you use all terminals in parallel connection?

Not much of an electrical guy myself so I thought I would ask if you can use all the terminals in a parallel connected battery..Ofcourse one positive off of one battery and one negative off the other ...

Short answer is you may yes.

Now on very heavy amp devices.. Like a 2000 watt inverter.. Wire as shown above.. Even a large converter (say 50 amps or more) likewise.

But for most loads.. like phone chargers which typically draw in the single amps range.. No problem at all.
