Hino 308 Battery Wiring

Hoping for some help with wiring up the batteries on my Hino 308.

Some douche stole all 3 batteries from my truck. Batteries and connecting cables are all gone. Obviously, I can get replacements easily enough, but I have no idea how to hook them up. I'm pretty sure all 3 are in parallel, but I see there are 3 connecting cables ...

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Two things I learned as an expediter.
I took many detailed pictures of my battery connections.
I then drew a drawing, labeled for my maintenance file.
Then, when I’d clean them, I’d count wires per stud, remove nut, and zip tie the eyelets together.
Not tightly, but tight enough not to get lose.

I once had a mechanic had more wires than he knew what to do with, so he stuffed them between the batteries.
My last truck had up to 4 wires per post.

Sorry I can’t help with your issue.

Ok. I can tell you that there is only one negative coming from the truck to the batteries. As you are looking at the batteries it’s coming in on the left. The black thick wire in the pic.

That's perfect! Looks like all 3 in parallel from your pictures.

Thanks for doing this, Tobster. And in that snow ... it looks like you are still wintering a bit longer.
