What is the recommendation for hooking up a bunch of wires to the battery? I currently have a Cobra FI2000 and a wire for my jacket heater in the winter hooked up to the battery, plus the main wires for the starter, etc. That's three connectors on each battery terminal. It's already a pain to put the screws into the battery terminals with those three connectors. I'm thinking of adding a horn with a relay, and possibly LEDs at some point, so there are more connectors coming!

Is there a terminal strip or buss or something that you all connect to the battery? There must be something that has a bunch of terminals where you can hook up different devices safely and easily. Sorry if this has been asked - I tried searching and didn't see anything. Any links to a good one would be appreciated.

Something like the fourth one should fit your application. You can make a piggy back off the + battery cable into the distrobution block to feed your other appliances. Just remember to fuse everything. I've used these with much success.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for! And I'll make sure everything is fused.

I might personally buy the second to last one just because it's shiny and it has numbers on it. Depending on how many accessories you want to install, you could get the second to last one, have one of those outlets go to your other distribution block and you'd have tons of accessory ports and you could even keep an eye on your voltage to see if your overdrawing! Nifty!
