ABSTRACT:
A bracket and quick connect/disconnect battery cable connector are disclosed to facilitate connection of a battery cable to a vehicle batter. The bracket is adapted to be connected to a battery to be in electrical communication with a terminal of the battery. The bracket comprises a head having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and two or more spaced apart lock members extending from the bracket head first surface. The lock members are generally C-shaped forming channels defined by a curved side surface and an upper surface. The connector comprises a body having a surface, a stem extending from the body surface and two or more flanges extending radially from the stem. The flanges have an upper surface spaced from the connector body surface. One of the flange upper surface and the channel upper surface is sloped such that, as the connector is rotated relative to the channel, the locking member radially extending surface will be sandwiched between the flange upper surface and the connector body surface. In a preferred embodiment, the flange upper surface is sloped, such that the flange defines a wedge.
