ABSTRACT:
A battery terminal (10, 10A) has an arcuate fitting (20) fittable on a battery post (80). Fasteners (40) extend out from opposite edges of an opening of the fitting (20) and face each other. A shaft (91) of a bolt (90) is inserted through holes (41) in the fasteners (40) and is tightened with a nut (95). Thus, the fasteners (40) approach each other and the fitting (20) is deformed inwardly for retention on the battery post (80). The head (92) of the bolt (90) contacts the outer circumferential surface of the fitting (20) so that the bolt (90) cannot turn as the nut (95) is turned. The fasteners (40) are sufficiently close to the fitting (20) for the head (92) of the bolt (90) to contact the outer circumferential surface of the fitting (20). Therefore the distance between the fasteners (40) and the fitting (20) is shortened.
