Is it a mistake that the image is showing positive connected to negative? I don’t understand how that would work?
The batteries are in series to double the voltage. The "positive to negative" connection is the mid point, hence the image title. Assuming they are 12V batteries, that is a 24V system.
In the example above (the 24V system) you have three 'terminals': Negative (@0V), mid-point (@12V) and positive (@24V). In a 12V parallel system you only have negative and positive, there is no mid-point to measure.
