wiring breaker

[spes]

Hello,
Just recieved a 50 amp breaker for my TM batteries and a 30 amp for my main.

My question is... which post goes to the battery side? Copper or silver?

I don't thinkt it make any difference. I mounted mine so I could get to the rest button easly and then just hooked up the wires as they fell.

Not really sure why one post appears to be copper and the other steel.

On that picture it says BAT right next to the copper post. If that's the same exact breaker just stick the battery wire there.

Missed that one good catch, I may need glasses too

Breakers and fuses don't have a polarity, so they can be connected in a circuit in either direction.

Your eyes are much better than mine if you see "BAT" marked on there. What you missed, is that he said he got 30a and 50a breakers but the one in the pic has 20A stamped on the side. So it can't be "the same exact breaker". LoL

I knew that was coming,, generic picture,,, i did get the same brand breaker,,,

Yea I realized it did say 20 amp, upside down though in my defense once I posted. Lol But yea what JMichael said you really can connect it either way
