Default Re: Battery cut-off

I'd install the master switch on the ground side of the battery. If you use a wrench to disconnect either battery cable and happen to touch the frame, no spark will fly.

With the switch on the starter cable, using a wrench on the negative post or master switch can cause sparks to fly if the wrench touches ground. Sparks around batteries can cause the battery to explode.
