Connecting 6 Batteries in parallel 'the wrong way'. Does it cause uneven wear and tear and charging?

Video Not Working? Fix It Now

This is something I'm reading over and over again in forums when connecting battery banks in parallel. I also had some comments under my video where viewers told me that the batteries are connected the wrong way! So, with more capacity needed over the Christmas holidays, it is time to parallel more batteries to the batterie shelf and test out these claims you hear and read everywhere. As always, we are not following the commonly known way and best practice to cross-connect the batteries (positive and negative connected on opposite sides of the battery tower). What will happen over time? Are we never fully charging theses batteries in parallel, do we see an uneven wear and tear if connected only from one side?
