It should be labeled to whichever circuit it is "making/breaking". If it makes/breaks the circuit for the battery, then label it accordingly. Same thing goes for the charger and solar.

I mean should the BATT terminal on the circuit breaker be connected to the charger in this case?
I can see arguments for connecting the BATT terminal to the charger and can also see an argument for keeping it connected to the battery.
BATT terminal connected to the battery in the case where the only items in that circuit are chargers: It isn’t likely that the chargers will overpower the circuit if the circuit is shorted. However the battery can supply more current than allowed if the circuit is shorted.
BATT terminal connected to the charger: The current in this circuit is driven by the charger and the breaker may only be capable of tripping for current in that direction.
