I have a domestic battery made up of 12 2v cells laid side to side -
so total length 2.15m x 3.18m wide. Cells each have 4 terminals - 2
pos and 2 neg. I intend taking off 2 x 70mm power feeds. On the end
cells only 1 pos and 1 neg terminal is used to connect it to its
neighbour. Should I:
a. take a pos and neg feed from each end.
b. take only the 2 pos feeds from one end and the 2 neg feeds from
the other end.

Can you do a diagram of what you have because it's either too late
(I've been programming all night) or what you wrote above doesn't make
sense.

F'erinstance, an end cell should not be connected with a pos and neg to
its neighbour.

If he's got 12 x 2v cells at a guess it's a series parallel 12v set-up
