Battery cut off switch
I just bought one like the one in the picture below. Should I install it on the positive terminal or the negative and why? I run two 12V group 27s in parallel.

I stick with the existing convention of all switches, fuses, breakers placed on the positive side(DC) or hot side(AC) of the circuit.
Only reason to place on the negative is to reduce risk of a short to ground when servicing the battery or other items close by.
When removing a battery cable for service it is best to remove the negative side first.
