Quick disconnect
For longer term storage and a bonus point at judging I want to install a quick disconnect on my battery. Should it go on the positive terminal or the negative side, or doesn't matter?

When reinstalling a battery hook up the negative last. Again to prevent an accident.

I guess the have it covered. But I recently installed a disconnect and I think it is an excellent idea to do. Gives a sense of security (that it won't catch on fire and that it wont get stolen)

Thanks guys I wasn't sure if some power could still be connected on the positive cable. My disconnect looks different from Paul's photo, it has a plastic **** that unscrews, that lever switch looks like it maybe easier to use? The one I bought was recommended by Paragon for side post batteries.
