Battery terminal expander/busbar?

[EML]

Any recommendations for these? My battery has an mate screw connection, and currently has 7 ring terminals on it.

The obvious one is the Blue Sea Systems one. Lots of people sell it, at £26 - £44, but it doesn't really seem man enough for the job. It's rated at 100A continuous, and has 4 screw terminals.

It's easy to get proper busbars (like this one) But I'd like to avoid having to mount a new box somewhere and finding another cable to connect it to the battery.

I have them on my twin lithium, all connected via those except the inverter . Replaced the clip on type as I couldnt seem those to grip tight enough

I think your second link is the best option that what I plan to use on the next van if it ever arrives.

They look good, but unfortunately I've got screw-in M-eight terminals. I've just seen my original post and, bizarrely, 'em-8' has turned into 'Mate'...?!

I thought pretty much all LiFePO4 were M-8, but obviously not, judging from Chris&Tracy's reply.

I only have a couple of connections on the battery but one leads to a 12v fuse box where most things are connected.

I think you're probably right, but I'm not keen on crimping big cables. I did find a cheap supplier last year but one of the crimped terminals fell off.

Hydraulic crimper only £25.

On the positive side, mine goes into a midi/mega fuse block. That way I've got the fuses for my various blocks of inputs and outputs in one place with midi fuses on each link. And a mega fuse connecting to the positive on the battery.

Negative side I've just got a simple busbar (after the shunt).
