Battery terminal block

Just curious what folks are using for battery terminal block connectors.
Truck is new to me. Even though all the stuff on the truck has paperwork for being done professionally, the engine compartment wiring is a tragedy. There are some lights and an air horn that dont work. So I want to clean up the battery connections, rip out some janky crap that I don't want on the truck, trace it all back to get it all working and just know what's what.
But I want a clean, and protected connection block. Been looking on Ebay, Amazon, and Crutchfield. All seem to sell about the same, and like an 8 way is the best I'm finding...but it isn't protected. I am looking for something with a cover.

Suggestions?

I've found products from Blue Sea Systems to be very helpful: Blue Sea Systems

Once on their site look around for what else they might have for your project. Hella also make quite a few products in what you're seeking.

Hope this helps and good luck on your project.

I used these

on the passenger side,

Amazon

I used ones like above on the driver side, because I had so many positive leads that needed to be there.

so essentially it adds one connection point compare to a regular terminal?
