Cleaning up the mess of battery cables.

My trailer battery's are a mess of wires, the posts were full from the factory then I added wires for the solar, inverter and others. I was thinking about mounting two of these power posts https://www.bluesea.com/products/category/PowerPost_Connectors/PowerPost to my trailer frame behind the battery's so I could attach all the cables to them then just run one + and - to the battery's. Would sure make checking water levels and getting the box lids on easier.

Good idea? Any other suggestions?

Mine came from the factory like this. One #2 wire from the battery, then several different size wires to various things. Seems like a sensible way to wire the battery.

I was thinking same as you. My battery terminals are full of cables making a big job of adding water to the batteries. I have to remove the cables and remember where each one goes back to. The power post should work.
