ABSTRACT:
An electrical power distribution module for use with an automotive vehicle electrical system is adapted to be mounted on the top surface of a standard automotive lead-acid storage battery and connect with a battery terminal extending therefrom. The power distribution module includes a battery post connecting assembly for housing a terminal connector for making electrical connections with the battery terminal and alternator and starter cables, a fuse block for receiving a plurality of fuses associated with separate vehicle electrical circuits, and a harness guide channel for routing a plurality of wires which connect the fuses with their associated circuits. The power distribution module is mounted to lay flat on top of the battery's upper surface with the battery terminal extending upwardly into the module to be engaged by the battery terminal connector. The module does not extend substantially above the highest point of the battery terminal, nor does it extend laterally substantially outside of the battery perimeter. A cover is attached to the power distribution module and has hinged sections which may be opened to provide access to the battery terminal connector and the fuse receptacles.
