ABSTRACT:
A quick disconnect system for removably connecting a electrical cable to a battery terminal post comprises either a pin therethrough which is engaged by an angulated slot in a spring loaded connector which slot includes a notch for locking the connector onto the pin, the connector being quickly disengageable from the terminal post by exerting a force opposite to the spring biasing force while sliding the connector off the pin; or a threaded type in which a threaded sleeve is secured to an existing battery terminal post which interfaces with a threaded connector for locking thereon by 90 degree rotation and unlocking by 90 degree rotation in the opposite direction; or a quick disconnect comprising a snap ring secured to a groove of an existing terminal post wherein a grooved resilient cover is snap-fit onto the split type snap ring secured to the existing terminal post. Each of the arrangements provides an electrical connection between the battery cable and the terminal post with the spring providing the electrical interconnection in the first instance, either conductive threads or the protrusion of the existing terminal post through the sleeve providing the electrical interconnection in the second instance, and with a conductive inner lining for the snap fittable cover providing the electrical interconnection between the battery cable and the terminal post, in the third instance. Each of the above arrangements may readily convert an existing battery terminal post into a system in which the battery cable may be quickly connected to and disconnected from the terminal post.
