Boat Forum / Boats / February 2007Battery Selector Switch & Accessory Panel
I am wiring my boat with a Perko 1/2/ALL switch and I'm connecting the hot (+) lead from my accessory panel to the COMMON termial of the switch (this is the same terminal that runs to the engine as well). My question is this: Does it matter which battery I connect the ground (-) to. Seems like a dumb question, I guess, since both battery grounds are conncected together, but I thought I'd ask anyway just to be sure. Many thanks... >I am wiring my boat with a Perko 1/2/ALL switch and I'm connecting the > hot (+) lead from my accessory panel to the COMMON termial of the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Many thanks... The important thing is to make sure the wires you are adding are of sufficient current carry capability to handle the load.

Your batteries are connected in series per your description. You can ground your switch on either battery or any other ground you can find. If your accessory box is grounded to your engine, go with that ground since its more convenient. |
