Battery cut off switch

That's the way I just wired mine. 4 post switch. I ran a 8 gauge wire from the small post to my msd box. Flip the switch and it kills the power from the battery, and the power to the ignition. When off, there is no power in the car. No relays needed.

Have you put a voltmeter on the alternator charge post?

That line is hot if you hooked it to the battery.
