In a nutshell, interrupting the ground circuit to the battery does nothing if the circuit is re-connected by a battery that rubs against a grounded object, -or has a brake rod/etc. become the new ground. On the other hand, when the power source is disrupted through a switch, it does not matter if something shorts out the ground circuit.
I am now confused. So, on a positive ground system, would you install the disconnect switch on the + battery terminal cable or the - battery terminal cable.
