They do not go to the same post - they just take the same run down the frame rail.

The 2ga is the charge wire and yes, it comes off the 5/16 charge post on the alt. It goes to the cold side of the cutoff switch in the bumper. The energizer wire is the 12 volt power feed for the alt and is my 'one wire' that plugs into the two port plastic connector on the bottom of the unit. It goes to the other cold side post on the cutoff switch so it shuts off the alternator when the switch is flipped.
