ABSTRACT:
A battery terminal 10 is provided with a substantially circular electrode supporting member 11, which fits onto a frusto-conical electrode P of a battery, and a pair of mutually facing foot members 14,15 extending outwards from both ends of the electrode supporting member 11. Strengthening members 22,30 extend along the foot members 14,15 and along one quarter circle of the electrode supporting member 11 from the foot members 14,15. These cause the second moment of inertia of the foot members 14,15 and of the electrode supporting member 11 to be different. As a result, the diameter of the electrode supporting member 11 can be reduced without the foot members 14,15 changing shape. If a bolt 18 passing through the foot members 14,15 is tightened to a specific extent with a torque wrench, the battery terminal 10 can be attached to the electrode P with a desired tightening force.
