ABSTRACT:
A battery terminal mounted on a battery post has a cylindrically shaped post fitting, clamping members, a cable connector, and a tightening tool. The cable connector is formed by bending a vertically oriented metal band. Post fitting and clamping members are formed from a vertically oriented metal band, such that the clamping members are connected to the free ends of the post fitting. The clamping members 18A, 18B are further bent to provide sliding surfaces matching the tapers of the tightening tool. By tightening a bolt down from above, the clamping members are moved horizontally together, and the free ends of the post fitting are thus closed to clamp the battery post.
