Add 2nd possible Altenator wire ?

Can you add a 2nd alternator wire from the Alt direct to the 2nd battery ?. yes i know both the battery's are tied together by the positive cable. all my accessory's run off the 2nd battery and would like to get a little more power to the 2nd battery faster. i am running a 250 amp alt.

Yes you can.

Below is a view of the backside of my alternator, from the point of view of sitting where the air cleaner should be.

The annotations super imposed on the photo identify the individual charge wires routed directly to the Driver's side (light blue label) and Passenger's side (light pink label) batteries.
