Connecting positive and negative at opposite ends of the pack helps balance current between all batteries. If connected to one single battery, that first battery would see higher peak currents than the others.

Pat, I have the same setup as the diagram (except 6-batteries), the shunt is attached to the negative terminal directly above the yellow box (the last terminal in the series). The meter is calibrated for 18ah in order to give accurate reading.
