Battery Terminal posts...

Which of these terminals on the + side of the battery is an appropriate location to connect my positive power wire from an onboard air compressor?

Assuming your air compressor has its own fuse (and it must have) I would connect to any of the posts upstream of the 225A and 125A fuses.

Edit: The negative side of the compressor should go to vehicle ground, not to the negative post of the battery.

Thanks Radioman- Yep, the compressor has a dedicated 40A fuse. Would it be possible for you to mark-up or circle which posts you are referring to as "upstream" in my photo.

Upstream, meaning not to the left of the 225 and 125 fuses.
As close to the batter post as possible.

I would if I could, but I can't so I won't. That ability is beyond my capabilities.
Attach to any of the terminals other than the left side of the 225A fuse in your picture and left side of the 125A fuse.

Edit:

I see that Jason beat me to it...

Got it. Thank you.
