A remote battery terminal expander for electrically connecting a plurality of appliances to a vehicle battery is disclosed that includes an electrical terminator assembly having a permanent electrical communication with a wire, where the terminator is adapted for electrical connection to the positive terminal of a battery and this terminator assembly is permanently attached to a conductive metal terminal block. The terminal block has a multi-sided block shape, usually with a rectangular shape. The plurality of appliances are in electrical communication with the electrical terminator assembly by use of alternating threaded apertures in each of the sides for receiving threaded fasteners to electrically secure the appliance wires from the plurality of appliances desired to be hooked to the vehicle battery for its power requirements. For safety sake, a fuse assembly is placed in electrical communication between the electrical terminator assembly and the conductive metal terminal block so that the appliance wires can be secured to the terminal block in a non-90 configuration, such that space is saved and a multitude of connections can be made in a small amount of space, without stacking all the connectors onto the positive and negative battery terminals.
