ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a battery terminal post connector comprising a device which makes direct contact with a storage battery terminal (post) extending outwardly from a battery case. The terminal post connector includes a conductor plate and a sleeve which is received within an opening formed in the conductor plate. The sleeve is secured to the conductor plate by conventional techniques, such as welding. The sleeve comprises a body having a plurality of fingers and a plurality of slots, wherein each finger is defined by a pair of slots. The sleeve has a central opening which receives a tapered post terminal extending from the battery case. A portion of an outer surface of the sleeve is threaded and is intended to threadingly engage a fastener, wherein threading the fastener to the sleeve results in the sleeve being intimately seated against the post terminal. The fastener preferably comprises a tapered nut having a first inner thread diameter and a second inner thread diameter, wherein the first inner thread diameter is greater than the second inner thread diameter.
