Yes, just the negative. You are dealing with a 12 volt light so it's just like working on the electrical system of your car. If you disconnect the negative side of the battery (and unplug the shore power) you will not have any power to the light.

Keep in mind that this is only for a 12 volt light. If you have a ceiling fan and ever decide to change it out, that is on the 120 Volt AC circuit and works off of shore power not the battery.

AS for the connection type, the wire nuts will work, but I would use automotive type crimp connectors. They will stay secire and you don't have to worry about them vibrating loose.
