ABSTRACT:
A mounting apparatus for a pair of batteries is provided that utilizes a centrally located fastener. The clamping force is spread over the entire upper surface of the batteries by a plurality of normally arcuate engagement surfaces that are defined by a non-metallic member. As the clamping force is increased during assembly, the engagement surfaces tend to flatten out, thus transferring the load over a larger area. The mounting apparatus also includes a cover member to protect the battery terminals and cable connections from damage due to incidental contact with tools and the like. The cover member is mounted separately from the battery mounting so as to be quickly removable for service without disturbing the mounting of the batteries.
