Switch Style Battery Disconnect

Does it matter if I do the negative or positive terminal? Thanks

  • Normally they are installed in the red or positive(+) lead. Electrically there is probably a good reason for this which I suspect is to ensure the power is off.. Otherwise if you had a ground it might not properly kill the power.

    Sure others can give a more precise reason.
