12v Aux Battery connections

I am tidying up my truck in the engine bay and have so far 5 items that need a direct connection to the battery. I have the following connected to my battery or needs to be.

1. Starter (obviously a must)
2. Alternator (not a must, but I like how it is run to the battery)
3. FiTech Red Power wire
4. Electric Fan Relay
5. Headlight Relay

Is there anyway to not have all of these on the battery post? What have you guys done to hide your battery connected items?

I was thinking of something like this Distribution Block. I have also thought about a fused block. Or am I overthinking it?

Re: 12v Aux Battery connections

The two large cables on the bottom one goes to the battery the other one goes to the alternator from the upper terminal on the left one is the lead going to the fuse panel under the dash The other wires go to their relays above it for the lights and the fans

Re: 12v Aux Battery connections

Where did you buy yours? I assume you bought some extra fuses to have on hand just in case?
