[QUOTE="condor22, post: 300695, member: 1932"] Here are some options [url]https://www.jaycar.com.au/multi-connect-battery-terminal-red/p/HM3089[/url] [url]https://www.jaycar.com.au/single-m10-power-distribution-post/p/SZ2090[/url] I've used these before and as it is a - earth insulation isn't necessary [url]https://www.jaycar.com.au/butt-connector-yellow-pk-100-butt-connector-yellow-pk-100/p/PT4728[/url] You can get these in staggered end sizes i.e. 2 wires twisted at one end into the larger end and 1 wire in the smaller end out. The considerations are; How well can you solder, how well can you crimp, is the connection big enough to carry the load et etc. For me, I would chose the single terminal post, its neater and well able to carry these amperages. It also means that the ring terminal crimped or soldered can be separated if needs be. Your suggestion of a screw is just as good and similar in context. There are standards for earth post fastenings, but here's my simple build - Take the screw, place on a flat washer, then the 3 ring terminals, then another flat washer, then a spring washer then a nut. I prefer Nylock, that way it's not going to come loose. [/QUOTE]
