Default Re: Install disconnect between 1 and 2, or 3 and 4?

1. placing the switch on the hot side of battery means that you are pulling the starting current thru the switch. this may not be desirable, don't ask.
It doesn't matter which side of the battery the switch is in, the starting current is going to go through the switch either way.

FWIW, In house wiring and other electrical, by code the switch is always in the "hot" side.
