Wiring four 6V Batteries--is this the best method?
Increasing the battery bank from a pair of 6v T-105's to four. Below is one possible way (maybe the only way?) to accomplish it: Is this the only (and best) way to connect them?

Two answers:
IF you do not have a big (Multi-Kilowatt) Inverter (I DO) your diagram is fine, use starter cable for the interlinks, biggest you can get.
IF you DO have a big inverter.. Wire your two pair just exactly as you did
Hook Negative (Chassis ground) to one pair, Positive to other pair. (this is one connection different) as someone posted later on.
And upgrade the interlink.
Something to think of
Each pair of six volt batteries, wired in series = one 12 volt size 4D
Treat them that way,, Think of them as halves of a 12 volt battery.. Most all questions quickly go POOF when you do that.
