Battery Disconect Switch

Here is the back side of that switch. The "com" on the left is the common line to the trailer. The + of one battery goes to the post on the right, the + of the other battery goes to the post on the bottom. You can select either battery or both batteries or disconnect entirely.

Thanks Westend---
your reply was the most helpful:)

Yes, you can use one switch.

The paralleled 12V batteries or series connected 6V batteries are connected like a single battery with one (+) cable to the inside of the RV and one (-) phase cable to ground (frame). The switch is connected in the (+) cable, located where convenient.

It is a good idea not to switch the breakaway switch but connect it directly to the batteries.

Do you have the Utube link to install. I only see the install vids for single batteries.

thank you:)

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! again

The OP asked how to wire a switch to disconnect both batteries. A Blue Sea 6007 does that job. I'm not sure what all the animosity against the 6007 setup is all about. The switch costs virtually the same as the 6006, short runs of low gauge wire can be had for next to nothing, and you get some flexibility with battery use. When I add a second battery I'll swap my 6006 out for a 6007.

GEEZ, give it a rest already.

In your RV ?? No I haven't.....and don't intend to either.

Because you are not paying attention. Nothing you said refutes or changes the fact that using one battery at a time gives you NO advantage over just leaving them both connected......IF you have easy access to a charger.

Actually it was SoundGuy's idea and I wanted to save a thousand words. ;)
