I would label each wire, draw a diagram, and take pictures is what I did.

Here'a diagram I found on line. Each pair of batteries is wired in series, then the two pairs are wired to each other in parallel.

Diagram looks good except many resources recommend pulling the main Pos cable from one series pair and the Neg cable from the opposite series pair for better balancing of loads & charging.
Some will argue there is no difference... I figure why not connect in the optimum configuration? ... it doesn't cost more and can't hurt whether it helps or not?

Did the same thing! Labeled each battery 1-4 and then tagged each cable end on each battery. Also took pictures before taking the cables off. I got it back together with no issues!

When I got done with that I upgraded my solar panels to 400W which really helps keep them charged!
