Hi - I’m building RV8 with aft battery placement.   From the battery contactor I run 2AWG to a terminal block near panel where a buss bar connects main power to main buss and some aux busses. 



I am planning to run a 2AWG from same post where main power comes into terminal block to the hot side of the starter contactor. 



My would have preferred to run directly to starter contactor but I don’t want to lengthen the run with a backtrack from starter contactor to terminal block and the busses off the terminal block - weight complexity and voltage drop reasons. 



Are there compelling reasons not to break the main power wire at terminal block with aft battery placement?



Thanks in advance. 



Warm regards,
