      Some of the cables and connections are obscured so I can't work out what is going where but I think it looks unconventional but OK.

       

      Cable 4 is the parallel negative link between the left hand pair and the middle pair. if this is removed at least one pair of 6V batteries will not receive a charge or supply any electricity. 

       

      I think the parallel positive links snake across the batteries but one connection is hidden  by a grey pipe.

       

      I note that you are taking supplies from  all over the place. This will not help cell longevity but don't worry about that for now because it will not make that much difference.
