Battery Disconnect Lever Question

When the Battery Disconnect lever is set to OFF, does this mean the battery is connected?

In so doing, Battery Disconnect lever is select to ON, so this means the battery is disconnected?

    A real easy way to find out. Turn on a light in the trailer (when not plugged in to 120 VAC), then switch the disconnect to ON or OFF.

    Typically 'OFF' would be an open circuit and the battery is disconnected.
    If you are plugged in or the RV is in use you should have the switch on.

    think of it as 'battery Connect' relay

    on is power
    off is no power/disconnect

    Don't know what switch you are using but correctly it should be open and closed.

    Closed = power flows thru

    Open = the circuit does not allow power to flow
