12V Power To and From Battery

[DadofThree]

I'm running a remote charge terminal from my trunk to the battery. I'd like to only have one wire leading to the battery terminal. So to include the remote charge, I'll need a distribution block or post. From this post, block or whatever, I'll also feed a fused distribution block for accessories that will be HAAT.

So, i'm looking for something that can handle cranking amps, and continue to starter, but also able to tie in other items. Any recommendations on what to use? Something like THIS (https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-PowerPost-Connectors/dp/B000K2IKZA/ref=pd_sbs_200_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01ERGYGM0&pd_rd_r=QAKVGYG0YVTYACDAMQ0X&pd_rd_w=nVx6J&pd_rd_wg=s5IQM&refRID=QAKVGYG0YVTYACDAMQ0X&th=1) or THAT (https://www.amazon.com/Littelfuse-298900-Automotive-Single-Terminal/dp/B001FXL4Q0/ref=pd_sbs_107_7?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B001FXL4Q0&pd_rd_r=VN19XN76JA6GW7BPJQDR&pd_rd_w=m5Rlz&pd_rd_wg=uL5xJ&psc=1&refRID=VN19XN76JA6GW7BPJQDR)?

I installed a mega fuse in the trunk which also allowed me to tap off for my jumper posts. I have a smaller battery which left room in the box for the fuse but you could install it elsewhere.

Cooper Bussmann (now Eaton) single stud junction blocks are rated for 400A (1/2") and 250A (3/8"), either of these should work although the larger one is probably good insurance for a small cost. The current should mostly be from lug to lug and not be going through the stud anyway.

Look up 12v breakers, you could attach your wires how ever you want and have circuit protection for the car

You just need the junction post. Doesn't need to be fused (don't jump it with a semi 24 v) Battery cables don't have fuses. you might be over thinking a bit. Everything down line is fused protected...da bat
