ABSTRACT:
A battery connector assembly for an automotive electrical system. The battery connector assembly includes a clamp portion joined to an electrically conductive body member at one end thereof and a stud portion joined to the body member at another end thereof. A pinchbolt and fastener is used to secure the clamp portion to a battery terminal post of a first battery. A transfer terminal is electrically connected to a second battery and is also removably connected to the stud portion. When both the battery connector assembly is connected to the terminal post of the first battery, and the transfer terminal is connected to the stud portion, the fastener used to clamp the clamp portion to the terminal post is obstructed from access. The result is that removing the clamp portion from the first battery is inhibited without first removing the transfer terminal.
