Do you cut off the positive or negative battery cable? I have seen it done both ways.
Thanks,

Stainless, if necessary I can do what you did and make push bar the the handle. This insures that it will be at the extreme end of the car.

Electrically it doesn't matter at all. Whichever you choose, put the switch as close to the battery terminal as possible to minimize the length of wire that is still "hot" even when the switch is open. Protect any exposed terminals from getting shorted in a crash, whether from structure deformation or flying debris.

If you put the battery disconnect in the negative cable. It will allow you to connect any or as many power leads to the positive side of the battery as needed. (computers, data recorders, etc..
