Does anyone on here happen to have a Draper BCS301 Battery Charger?
We have managed to pull the mains input wires off the on/off switch and don't know which wire goes to which terminal.
Thanks

Thank you for the reply, unfortunately ours is this type:

The neutral and live go to two terminals on the back of the green switch and two black wires on the other side go off elsewhere. One is thicker than the other but I didn't want to assume that it was the Live input.

Neutrals are typically over sized, but don't take that as gospel. Might be worth giving Draper technical/customer support a call.

I expect, it does not matter, AC current is contiually reversing polarity.
However if you have a trip in the circuit it may blow instantly if it is wrong.
That would just mean changing wires.
