Hey guys, I'm looking to clean up the terminals on the starting battery. I'm trying to find the best way to connect all of today's ring ends to the battery. I've seen products in the past that add an additional terminal, but I cannot find them any more.

Thanks for the help.

Mercury says no more than 2 wires per terminal for Opti's. The best way is to handle accessories is to install 2 terminal strips to the side of your battery compartment and terminate your wires there (1 for pos. and 1 for neg.). It also really cleans up and organizes the battery compartment.

Cool, thanks! Would something like this work? It looks like the BusBar is more appropriate for the application. I really appreciate the input.

Dualbus looks like it would work, just take care since the + and - are in close proximity. I'm not familiar with the
Connect Ease product. Also I'm not a fan of the blade type connector. I'd much rather have screw terminal.

Also take a look at Johnny Ray's terminals:

I have the Johnny Ray terminals....and I also have the JR trolling motor transducer mount. Good stuff. Clean and simple.
