May I expand on that? Look at the automotive world ...
The most difficult job the battery has is cranking the engine. All
modern automobiles - of which I am aware, anyway - run a large ground
cable (#4 - #00) straight from the battery to the engine. The starter
motor is grounded via the engine. Then the chassis is grounded to the
engine. Everything else is grounded to the engine, via the chassis or a
ground bus.
If you want a robust electrical system, that's a good starting point.
And yeah, I've been told before "that's cars; cars aren't airplanes".
Sorry - the physics works the same for both.
