Hi guys I have run a wire from my second battery to the rear of my car and now what i want to do is run some various plugs like an anderson, cigarette plug and maybe another plug of of this main wire to the rear.
What is the best way to do this, is there some sort of splitter or something where i can have the earth and power lead in and then a few different outlets where i can connect other wires for the different plugs? thanks

get a fuse panel out of an old car at the wreckers or see an auto shop, they will sell them there too.

I am also after something like this. You want to be able to run the battery lead in, and have a heap of outs.

Do i need to run a positive and negative wire to the fuse block?

Hi superg, in automotive use, you only need the positive.
The reason I state “ automotive use “ is because there are quiet a few different types of fuse blocks on the market and some of them have a negative bus bar but this is there because this type of fuse block is designed for marine use.
Many marine devices work well in automotive use and if you have one and have no reason to use the negative bus bar, just ignore it.
Cheers
