Do you connect this to the positive or negative side of the battery?

I just happened to see your question.. No one has answered it.. It is typical to mount your disconnect switch to the positive side of your battery and system.. Making sure that your system is negative side grounded.. Also use at least a 4 gauge wire or a 2 gauge wire ( depending on the size and capacity of your battery) of minimum length of about 6-12 inches ( this is often called a "jumper cable") to connect one terminal on the switch to your positive battery terminal.. Just add heavy duty terminal rings to each end of your "jumper" cable. Then add the Positive wire of whatever was originally connected directly to your positive battery terminal, to the switch's other terminal.. Bear in mind that you are placing an "circuit interupter" between only the positive connections of your battery terminal and the positive connection of whatever you want to be able to disconnect. Dont get your wires confused. Of course doing this is your own responsibility. Hope this helps..

I'm not sure but they make a harness to connect it to the positive side of the battery. This may be the best way to fix it.

The external case doesn't appear to be connected to any terminal, there are both + and - terminals for the battery and array. I don't believe it will matter whether your external system is positive or negative ground.

Positive side of the light you're controling goes to red wire, (negative side of light goes to battery negative or ground)Black wire goes to positive 12v terminal of battery.White wire goes to negative 12v battery terminal or ground.

Yes, for a parallel connection it's positive to positive and negative to negative and then on to the charge controller.

I had the techs from the battery company hook mine up when they replaced my batteries and they hooked it up to the positive on battery #1 and the neg on battery #4. I haven't used it yet but I will this summer when I leave Florida.

Remember that the + side faces up which means the whole side of the battery is the positive terminal. The negative side faces down and from the looks of the battery case that button is very thin so with the button down on the plate, the test bar should easily contact the case.

Positive and negative from battery on one side; positive and negative to the 12v motor on the other side. There shd be very small print that illustrates which side is which

Your choice. All you are doing is breaking the circuit. Generally it is breaking the positive side (hence the red color of the switch). Worked great on my battery bank to cut off charging when not needed or based on battery temps.

Yes, I have the same set-up, connect the batteries to all three batteries. Positive and negative to all three batteries.

It has a battery compartment on the side. Turn the dial and pull the cover off. It tells you which side positive and negative go.

This box doesn't require a lot of power, but yes connect the positive wire to the battery.

You have to reverse the polarity by putting the batteries in backwards or open the unit and rewire it.

Find the battery first. Could be under the seat ? or under the hood ? The wires hook to the battery and one place they hook usually has a + sign for the positive or "red" clamp the other a - sign for negative "black" ground connection. The main thing is to identify the + positive connection and make sure you hook the red clamp to it. One way to identify the - minus or ground connection is to trace the wire and see what it connects to away from the battery as it will connect to the frame of the mower and the + "hot" "red" "positive" lead or wire will go to the starter motor on the side of the engine. Hope this helps ?

Left side. Ist battery put pos end in first, repeat with 2nd battery on top of 1st,On other side do the opposite. Put neg end in first, repeat with 4th battery,Battery configuration form a "U" shape .With cap off you should see neg end on left and positive end on right With batteries on same configuration on each side.Make sure you align batteries with metal part in cap when screwing on. Wish I could draw a diagram

If it looks like only one pin is connecting, flip the battery over and plug it in upside down on the left side.

Hi Shard, my initial assumption is that you do not have the connectors in the right place. The batteries are connected in series i.e. mine are 6volt batteries and I have 6 of them for a total of 36v. So the positive connectorhas to be on the 1st batteries positive terminal and the negative connector has to be on the negative terminal of the last battery. If you have it hooked up that way, one of the batteries might be bad. Bill
