Battery kill switch on negative or positive from batteries?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Can you explain this to me? I am unaware of how a circuit can be grounded if you completely disconnect the ground side of the circuit.A classic kill switch at the battery terminals yes... on the negative site. BUT.. ich you like tu use a switch outside of the battery box you have to use the positive site. Simply because the grounding happends most of the time in many different ways so you can not switch it off in 100% of all cases.
Yes, every component goes to ground, but then all of those grounds end up going to a single point, and then to the negative battery post.This only applies to the switch if you do not have it directly on the battery bay. So somewhere outside the box.
Here it has proven a positov terminal to the switch and then back to the actual distribution point in the battery box to pull.
And yes, this also works with the negative terminal.
It was explained to me that in a vehicle you basically try to have ground available everywhere with every component. Quasi a mass inflation!
But... the longer I think about it now, I think it really does not matter. What I learned seems to me as logical as illogical for a switch to negative as a switch to positive.
