It is important to keep those battery cables as short as possible. Current is a funny thing. The proximity to the starter would be a major design consideration. Especially for a 6 volt system. I converted to 12 VDC and I too use a negative terminal disconnect thingie (one of those with a green knob). I use the battery hatch regularly to gain access under the floor which is no problem. As a rule, I disconnect every time I park her in the garage for safety.
