ABSTRACT:
A quick connect/disconnect coupler for dry cell batteries including a flexible metal strap of copper, silver or alloys thereof having quick connect/disconnect clamps at each end. Each of the clamps has a base plate with a first aperture defining an inner surface complementary in shape to an electrode post of a dry cell battery and a second aperture intersecting the first aperture. A cylindrical stub shaft having a flat area thereon is rotatably mounted with respect to the base plate and extends into the second aperture. When the flat area of the stub shaft is aligned with the inner surface of the first aperture, the clamp may be easily slipped onto or off of an electrode post of the associated dry cell battery, but when the stub shaft flat is out of alignment with the inner surface of said first aperture the stub shaft contacts the electrode post and forces same into contact with the inner surface of the first aperture to establish good electrical contact between the clamp and the associated electrode.
