Battery Disconnect Switch

im installing a battery disconnect switch, i see alot of "never" hook into positive side. im installing it so i can keep my battery from being overcharged while on shore power. but im thinking if i go to ground side, battery would still be recieving the charge. Am i right or wrong in this thinking? was going to let converter continue running to keep sensors working.

    Your batteries will not receive a charge unless a complete circuit exists. You have a newer RV & the converter will not overcharge the batteries while connected to shore power. Make sure the batteries have adequate water levels. The disconnect, keeps the batteries from being discharged while in storage & shore power is not available.
