| - | The circuit breakers have copper (incoming power) and silver (outgoing power) colored terminals. The copper terminal of the Main Circuit Breaker is the input side for the battery. ((Ironmick of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1378363&page=3)) The keyswitch is attached to the output side, the silver terminal. Also, the wire from the regulator attaches on the (silver) output terminal, then passes current thru the circuit breaker in reverse direction to charge the battery. CAUTION: You should NOT run the output wire from the regulator on the copper terminal of the circuit breaker, nor directly to the battery positive terminal, even if the original wiring was connected that way. Connecting in that way would allow a failing regulator to short the battery to ground, pulling hundreds of amps of current from the battery and potentially causing a fire.\\ | + | The circuit breakers have copper (incoming power) and silver (outgoing power) colored terminals.
