ABSTRACT:
A battery terminal includes a main member and ring member, each made from a conductive metal. A stud bolt for cable connection projects from the main member. A post fitting is provided in the ring member. The ring member is placed on top of the main member with one end of the ring member supported by the main member and the other end at an angle floating free above the main member. This other end is passed over the stud bolt and the post fitting of the ring member is fit over the battery post. The battery cable terminals are fit onto the stud bolt. When the nut is tightened on the stud bolt, the terminals are tightened against the ring member, which is at an angle to the battery post, and the post fitting of the ring member is forced down and clamped against the battery post. Thus, securing the battery terminal to the battery post and securing the cable terminals to the battery terminal can be simultaneously completed by a single thread tightening operation.
