Do these 6v batteries need to be in a 12v configuration ? How would I wire 4 6v batteries for the solar system, and still have the most efficient charge balance?

You wire the pairs *-______+~-______+* the far left and far right are now your main + and -. Then you connect the main +s and main -s together to create two 12v cells in parallel. The connection at the main + and - are now your main terminals. These batteries actually prefer to be wired in series so you could do them all in series and use a DC to DC step down converter to provide 12v to your inverter. *+_____-~+_____-~+_____-~+_____-* 24v but you'll get more capacity by doing two pairs of 12v in parallel.
This shorts the batteries. Nope, Had a battery in backwards and couldn't see the +. These batteries are symetrical so it wasn't obvious. All good now, system working.
