ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for providing a universal battery cable assembly is shown and described. In a preferred embodiment, a battery terminal and a conductive spacer are seated in a mold and encased in a quantity of insulating, resilient material that cures to form a boot of uniform size and shape, regardless of whether the battery cable assembly will function as a top terminal or as a bottom terminal, and regardless of the number and sizes of conductors that may be coupled to the battery terminal. A battery cable assembly provided in accordance with the present invention has a repeating geometry that allows it to be stacked on and sealingly engage a second battery cable assembly having the same structure.
