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.

Why would there be a loose end anywhere? The topic is about where to locate a disconnect switch.
Doesn't the pictured battery discconnect in question come apart? If so, then there is your loose end and is on topic with the Op's post.
From the instructions on Amazon;
"...Turn black knob fully clockwise to connect battery power. To disconnect power, turn knob 1/4 turn counter clockwise...."
Reads to me like the device stays together.
Gama Electronics has an instruction video. They also say 1/4 turn to disconnect and they do not show separating the device. In the video they recommend the negative post but are thinking a starting battery, not the house battery of a trailer.
Frankly I think that device is a very poor excuse for a disconnect and is likely to provide unsatisfactory service but the OP didn't ask about that.
