    Hi Shane,

    All you have to do is connect the two batteries positive cables to the inputs of the battery switch, there will then be one outlet, directed either from battery 1, battery 2 or both.

    It is ONLY the positive cables from the batterues that we are concerned with.

    What about the common ground slot on the switch?
