I just bought an Optima Blue top battery and a perko switch. When I bought the switch the guy at Boater's World told me to run the existing power wire into the switch and then run two new power wires off the switch to each battery (hopefully that makes sense). My only issue is the perko switch has side terminal connectors on it and the existing red wire has a post terminal connector. Can I just cut the post connector off and put a side connector on or will this mess up the electrical? If I can are there any recommendations to make sure I connect the wire securely to the terminal so it doesn't come off while I'm on the lake? Also, where is a good place to buy a 0 gauge side terminal connector?
