One of those panels is for the little fan you see below the charge controller, the other one is for charging a small portable powerbox that I use to charge small devices.

The wires are 6ga and each battery has a fuse. You can see one of them, it's that black, cylinder with the yellow stripe.

Like the guy below observed, these are gel batteries so they don't gas, plus, I have that fan sucking air out and the front of the box is cut at the top to make a big vent gap.
