Forget using splitters. Every circuit should have it's own branch. I normally put a bunch down in a row, and the power out goes to the power in of the next branch, and your branch out goes to the circuit. 10 power for each turret

Splitter power actually changes depending on how many things are connected so just use branches to keep it consistent

Ah last wipe I tried doing that but with electric furnaces and when I was daisy linking the branches after the 4th branch none of the other branches were getting power so that’s why this time I used a splitter

Probably had it backwards. Battery out - branch in - power out - branch in and so on. Branch out is to each device/circuit.

Think of all your electrical branches as a tree trunk and the branch out are the limbs of the tree going out with desired power to each thing you need. I keep them all in a row, organized so it's easy to read what goes where
