No room for 2 wires from post to post.

I just replaced all my battery terminal screws with slightly longer stainless steel bolts, with a lock and regular washers. They are all M8s for thread size and diameter. This is to allow two large terminals to be stacked for paralleling my batteries and allow plenty of thread engagement. Each battery has two connections per terminal, on one end battery is the inverter, and the other, the lines to the buss bars and battery cutoff.
