The black wire connects the starter battery's negative terminal to the RV5's PV2- port. A fuse sits on the starter battery's positive terminal and feeds the isolated switch through the long red wire. A short red wire runs from the switch, in the off state, to the PV2+ port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCharging Stops When Full\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the battery is fully charged, the RV5 stops charging automatically.
