    Default Battery Terminal


    What's wrong with having 4 or 5 different accessories wired directly to the cranking battery terminals....if anything?

    I'm thinking about cleaning the situation up with Johnny Ray terminals (easy) or re-wiring a few connections back to the fuse panel for power (not as easy).

    I haven't had any problems yet as I keep everything clean and tight...but I feel like I shouldn't have that many connections stacked up on the battery terminals.

    Nothing wrong with that. Just be sure you have all of your accessories fused though.

    It may not look pretty but there is nothing wrong with it plus if you ever have an electrical problem it is a lot easier to troubleshoot with everything right there. These come in handy if you get too many connections. Lynx/Epoxy marine terminals (06071) | Battery Terminal End and Adapter | AutoZone.com

    Thank you both and thanks for the recommendation..I'll follow through on the marine terminals. That will work quite nicely.
