ABSTRACT:
An improved elongated side terminal adapter is of the type for use with a jumper cable clamp. The terminal adapter includes a clamp connecting portion mateably engageable with the jumper cable clamp and a terminal connecting portion having laterally opposing terminal gripping plates disposed substantially in a common plane and cooperating to define an opening therebetween. The gripping plates are laterally resiliently deflectable to facilitate sliding the side terminal adapter onto a side terminal of a battery. A number of terminal engaging prongs bent out of the plane in a first direction and a number of terminal engaging prongs bent out of the plane in a second direction opposite to the first direction are disposed along the opening and are cooperatively arranged to define at least one terminal-receiving slot to facilitate clipping onto the battery side terminal.
