Solar/Inverter wiring

I've been researching and have acquired virtually all my components to install solar in my trailer in the near future.

I have one question that is bothering my a little and I can't seem to find an answer online.

I have 3 sets of wires that will be connected to my batteries (two 6V 225 Ah golf cart).

1) Coming from my charge controller

2) Coming from my RV panel

3) Going out to a small inverter (450W) that will be stand alone (not tied into the trailer 120V AC) just for charging small electronics.

Is it okay to attach all three connections to the battery terminals? Just one on top the other, on top the other, then screw it down?

    I picked up my +/- buss bars at my local West Marine for cheap.
  • Share with us, what system are you installing? I just this week got my 400 watt Renogy system installed, I'm shocked at well it's been working in my drive way, even charghing in the rain the other day.

  • If by RV panel you mean the 12v distribution panel, yes.
