Bat emergency off switch cut only red wire?
Im finishing up wiring on my reserve bank and want to put in an emergency on/off/service switch. I have a Blue Seas on/off selector switch.

I only need to cut power to the positive correct? My negative goes through a shunt for an SG-200 and then to the neg bus. The Blue Seas switch has the ability to cut power to the negative as well.

Yes, only switch the positive.
