A quick change battery clamp includes a first clamp body, a second clamp body, and a handle assembly. The second clamp body is coupled to the first clamp body. The handle assembly is selectively disposed through each of the first clamp body and the second clamp body. Each of the first clamp body and the second clamp body define an aperture having a substantially polygonal cross-section configured to receive a battery post. Each of the first clamp body and the second clamp body have an internal wall with a plurality of ridges configured to selectively abut the battery post. The first clamp body and the second clamp body are hingedly connected.

A battery clamp having a first inner metal battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion, a second inner metal battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion, a first outer insulating battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion connected to the first inner metal battery clamp, and a second outer insulating battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion connected to the second inner metal battery clamp. The first inner metal battery clamp member and/or the second inner metal battery clamp member having a battery cable connector configured to allow a user to access the battery cable connector with the user's fingers or a tool while avoiding interference with the handle portions of the battery clamp.

A battery system for an electric motor vehicle comprises first and second battery cartridges that are installed in corresponding first and second battery compartments of the electric motor vehicle. The first battery cartridge has a power connector port with at least one of a shape, size, configuration and orientation that is different than the corresponding power connector port of the second battery cartridge. The first and second battery compartments are physically spaced apart and electrically coupled together by a bridging power cable. The bridging power cable comprises first and second connector ends that extend respectively into the first and second battery compartments, and the first connector end mates more easily with the first power connector port than with the second power connector port, and the second connector end mates more easily with the second power connector port than with the first power connector port.

A connection portion of a lead wire is close to a surface of a metal plate, held at an accurate position, and held while preventing the wire from being movable. A connection structure of the lead wire includes the metal plate, the lead wire connected to the surface of the metal plate, and a pair of holding protrusions. The holding protrusions sandwich at least two parts of the lead wire to dispose the lead wire at a fixed position. Each of the holding protrusions has a holding gap sandwiching and holding the press-fitted lead wire. A connection space of the lead wire and the metal plate is provided between the holding protrusions. The lead wire is held on the surface of the metal plate with the holding protrusions and is connected to the surface of the metal plate in the connection space.

A lockout assembly is configured to lockout a battery connector including a connector head connected to a wire, The lockout assembly includes a connector cover part and a sliding part. The connector cover part includes a cupped portion providing a cavity and a guide rail extending away from the cavity in which the cavity is dimensioned to receive an end of the connector head. The sliding part is dimensioned to slidably engage the guide rail and has a hooking foot configured to selectively engage the connector head opposite the cavity of the connector cover part.

A battery clamp having a first inner metal battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion, a second inner metal battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion, a first outer insulating battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion connected to the first inner metal battery clamp, and a second outer insulating battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion connected to the second inner metal battery clamp.
