FOR AUTOMOBILES!.. Winnebago for 60 years has made GREEN negative and BLACK positive. White and Green is RV industry standard for Negative battery connections. 40 years ago Winnebago had the bright idea of installing Diehard batteries for Coach batteries. The reason was, back then there were thousands of Sears Auto centers that could warranty defective batteries. It lasted about 2 to 3 years. Sears part changers would connect the positive BLACK cable to the new battery Negative and the GREEN Negative to the Positive of the replaced batteries. After scores of burnt up Winne DC wiring, (which Sears had to pay for) Sears sent out a bulletin to its service centers that they would only pull and install batteries AFTER they were disconnected by the customer. Customers were responsible for reconnecting all cables. Doug
