B&C Batt Contacter Polarity Question

Well Known Member
Wrapping up FFW wiring and last job is starter contactor on FW engine side back to battery contactor attached on the right gear tower. I mounted my battery and batt contactor in that lower right luggage area like many others.

That said, I would like to flip flop/reverse the wiring on my battery contacter. I want to attach the battery to the right post and the cable to starter contactor on left. (Opposite of photo - which is how it is now)

I know the starter contactor poles are reversible but are the B&C battery contacter so long as I flip flop the diodes etc (reverse everything). I think I can but just want confirmation.

Thanks!

Yes, you can flip the diode around and move the jumper to the other side. The electromagnet coil doesn't care which way current flows.
