I may have resolved why the positive on one end of the bank of batteries goes to the inverter and the positive and negative are on the other end of the bank. When supplying 12v power to the house, the ground coming from the same battery end is of little consequence. However, when the inverter is supplying 110v to the house, having the ground at the other end of the bank of batteries spreads the heavy load more evenly among the batteries.
If anyone is interested in using 6 volt golf cart batteries, I have attached a schematic of how I plan to connect the batteries in the upper and lower trays. Let me know if this is incorrect. It is desirable, but not practical to use the same length of the cables.
Using low profile, automatic water fill caps, the clearance on the bottom tray is only about an inch. I will take the battery trays out and raise the top tray by two inches resulting in more clearance for the bottom tray.
