Wiring a battery box

Inspired by the post in the FX section, I thought I'd have a go at making a battery box power supply for a small pedalboard.

For less than £5 I now have these:

Can someone confirm which way round I need to wire up the barrel jack please? It will be powering Boss style centre-negative pedals so does that mean the black wire goes to the short terminal in the centre and the red wire goes to the long terminal?

Assuming the black wire is connected to the negative side of the batteries in the box then yes
