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.

As stated above, it is a sorry excuse for a cut off switch. Get a Blue Sea switch and be done with it.

As far as what terminal it goes on, it all depends on what you are trying to do with it. To isolate a battery from the vehicle you would put it on the negative terminal (example-car battery). To isolate the battery from what it feeds, you would put it on the positive side of the battery (negative ground system). For a RV purpose most folks would want it on the positive side of the battery.
