For anyone that was keeping track, I finally got a chance today to play with the H.
It definitely just appears that the battery was switched around by the previous owner in an attempt to be helpful, and thinking that negative is always grounded.

One of the ones on the side with two was connected directly to the generators "a" terminal, and the other was connected to the wiring harness.
There were sparks, but hopefully those werent bad sparks, but the kind I should see when re-polarizing a generator!
