My accessory switches are normally left in the "on" position
when I turn off the main breaker at the end of the day. This way they also are automatically "on" when I start the next day, but were not powered when the main breaker was off for battery charging.
Very simple, easy, and if you ever have your starting battery get weak with age you will be glad you wired the yellow wire to a switch.
