ABSTRACT:
A battery cable connector connects a battery cable to a battery post. The connector comprises first and second outer connector portions and a third intermediate connector portion trapped between the first and second connector portions. The first and third connector portions have opposing battery post receiving recesses. The second connector portion is adjustably secured to the first connector portion by a threaded adjustment on which the third connector portion is slideably mounted. Also provided is a pusher member movable to and from a connector tightening position. The threaded adjustment provides an initial tightening of the connector around the post with the pusher member away from the tightening position. The pusher member is then moved to the tightening position where it pushes the third connector portion away from the second connector portion and towards the first connector portion to provide a tight fit of the first and third connector portions around the battery post.
