Where to buy battery terminals with multiple accessory attachment points?

Gents,

I have searched high and low, but cannot find any battery terminals that have more than 2x accessory posts. With a winch, lights, etc, etc, I need more places to screw down wires. Anyone have a line on a battery terminal with more spots for accessory attachment?

Thanks,

Mike

One other thing you could do is run one hot wire from the battery to a distribution (spelling?) block on the firewall and branch out from there.

I thought about that, it might be the way to go.

Thanks,

Thats what most towing truck rigs do, and if you get one with fusible links, your going to be a step ahead.

I plan on doing a distribution block with fusibles for my dual batt setup, and my acc lights etc etc

I run Marine battery terminals for all my vehicles after upgrading the battery cables.

They allow me to run as much equipment as I wast with it real simple to remove the ground cable.

Just go to your local Audio/Stereo shop. They have all sorts of battery terminals that run from 16 gauge to 0 gauge. The terminal I have sitting in my garage has one 0 gauge port, two 4 gauge ports, and two 8 gauge ports. I can run whatever I want. I think I paid like $8 bucks for it or so. I also have a dual terminal battery with the typical post on top and the bolts on the side. But this is not needed, I wouldn't suggest going out and buying a new batter unless you need it.


Something like this is what I'm talking about.
