Battery terminal "double adaptor"

[Brissieboy]

Probably a silly question, but is there such a thing as a battery terminal double adaptor? Something that bolts onto the terminal and provides two post for connections. I haven't been able to find anything like this in the myriad of connectors available.

Might be but I've not seen one.

There is this if it suits your use tho https://vetco.net/products/knife-switch-battery-disconnect-with-unswitched-post

Post to multiple terminal bolt up adapters are very common in pairs or even 4 or 6 terminal...

Then there are the Battery themselves...
Any amount of multiple terminal batteries (post and bolt AKA Group 31, post and thread or double thread) but dual post are very rare and the only one I've seen had the 2nd posts on the side so may be a hassle to mount assuming they are still made.

Thanks folks. Neither is exactly what I am looking for, but both are definite possibilities. The knife switch sounds like a good idea for the winch and looks like it will handle the load.

GO TO EBAY AND LOOK UP BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTORS
or this one https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2PCS-Auto-Car-Vehicle-Replacement-Battery-Terminal-Clamp-Clip-Alloy-Connector-AU/301791870563?epid=1087837206&hash=item4644327e63:g:t1gAAOSw~AVYoSLr

Yep. Been there, done that.
Did that early in my search but unable to find what I thought would be a common thing - a simple 'double adaptor'.
Still haven't found them, but the earlier suggestions are workable alternatives if nothing shows up.

If the above suggestion by the evil twin /knife-switch-battery-disconnect-with-unswitched-post (https://vetco.net/products/knife-switch-battery-disconnect-with-unswitched-post) is not the type of battery terminal you are looking for then have a look at below URLs.

If that is not what you are searching for then it would be helpful if you can draw a sketch of the adapter and load it here.

draw us a picture would be great or detailed explenation what you are after or want to do

As prev posted, I've not seen a dual SAE Terminal Adapter.

Quite a while back I did work on some Yank stationary plant that used this config https://www.expeditionexchange.com/odyssey/odyssey003%20008.jpg
That type of battery case is readily available from most manuf, Optima, Exide, Platinum etc etc

There is a rarer but more conventional version with both terminals on top (an SAE post screws into the pad to give twin Posts)

May I ask the reason you need the above double terminal adapter?
If you are looking for an adapter like that to add extra batteries there are adapter options out there with isolation switches to allow you to disconnect at will.

It just seemed an easy way out at the time to retain the existing connection and add a second with the same cable end which I already have. I musn't be the only one who ever wanted to do something like this as the double terminal battery option is available as pointed out by ET above. My second battery has the double connections (post and tab) but the crank has just the one.
Yes, there are plenty of other options out there, but that was what I was my first thought.
In any case, it doesn't look like such a device is available so it is probably time to re-think, or even fabricate my own if I really want to go that far. I'm really not going to lose any sleep over this.

Yeah, but you have been. ;)

Have a look at these ones. They should do the job with a ring lug.

Or if you insist on battery terminal end looking type connector, then you can add this bit to the above and off you go.

Or below ones if you can wait few months for it to arrive from China.

And these UNILUG ones on ebay Australia. They are obviously pricey.
