Battery Terminals are an essential piece of the electrical system in any vehicle.. without them, our vehicles simply wouldn’t go anywhere. Off the lot, I’m sure the factory battery terminals work just fine, however, many automotive enthusiasts add stuff. Lots of it. It all takes power and all needs to connect back to the battery somehow. In the off road world, Jeeps, trucks and other 4×4’s make use of high amperage draw device such as light bars, more light bars, small light bars, large light bars, and winches. I joke about the light bars… kind of. Then there are other electronics that need a direct connection back to the battery for the cleanest power and promote proper function. These are things like 2-way radios, intercom systems and navigation devices…. sensitive electronics.
But this isn’t limited to off road, often car stereo installers need connection points for high power stereos as well as custom vehicle with wiring harnesses build from scratch.
In all of these cases, you need a better battery terminal that can accomodate multiple large gauge wire connections as well as not leaving out the smaller stuff. meanwhile, keeping a small, clean, and compact form factor. This is when you bridge over from a regular battery terminal with a single connection and into the world of a battery terminal distribution blocks. The battery terminal blocks avaiable from Rugged Rocks have 3 larger connection points for your high amperage connections for items like starters, winches and high power lights. The side of these battery blocks have a smaller side post as well, this is convenient for the lower power electronics mentioned earlier such lower amperage draw sensitive electronics such as radios, intercoms, etc..
