ABSTRACT:
A cover for battery terminals includes a base plate and cap arrangement that, together with flexible seals, may be placed over a battery terminal and an attached connector to seal and protect the terminal and connector against corrosion. The base plate includes two base sections that are connected by an integral hinge. Each section includes a semi-circular recess that closes about the terminal below the connector when the two sections are moved together to a closed condition. A first flexible seal is positioned over the terminal post prior to placement of the base. The base may then be placed over the terminal and pressed onto the seal. The seal will deform and fill any voids between the terminal and the cover base. The cap may then be placed over the base, enclosing the terminal and connector. Interfitting walls of the cap and base form an enclosure seal about the terminal and connector. Matching cable receiving recesses are provided in the walls of the base and cap. A second seal may be placed in the recesses to complete the airtight seal of the terminal and connector, thereby protecting them against corrosion. The above assembly may be completed with the battery connector attached to the terminal post.
