A battery terminal includes a terminal main body and a protector, wherein the terminal main body includes clamping sections for clamping the battery post, opposed sections and an operating section, the opposed sections being continuous with the clamping sections, wherein the operating section causes the opposed sections to approach each other, wherein the protector includes an elastic section provided with a contact section to be brought into contact with the upper surface of the battery main body, and a displacement section provided so as to be freely displaced between an introduction position and a retracted position, wherein in the introduction position, a tightening operation by the operating section is limited, and wherein the displacement section is displaced from the introduction position to the retracted position by pressing the contact section against the upper surface of the battery main body so that the tightening operation is allowed.

A battery terminal includes a terminal main body and a protector to be mounted to the terminal main body, wherein the terminal main body includes an operating section for clamping and tightening the battery post, and the protector includes a movable section provided with a contact section to be brought into contact with the upper surface of the battery main body, and a displacement section to be freely displaced between a covering position for covering the operating section and a retracted position with an external force applied on the contact section, wherein in the retracted position, the displacement section is retracted from the covering position, and wherein the displacement section is displaced to the retracted position by pressing the contact section against the upper surface of the battery main body so that the access to the operating section is allowed.

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 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 an inclined connection plate for connection with a battery cable, the inclined connect plate configured to allow a user to access the inclined access plate with a tool while avoiding interference with the handle portions of the battery clamp.

A battery pole terminal, having an annular section, which surrounds a cylindrical or conical receiving space at least in sections in a circumferential direction, the annular section having an interruption with respect to the circumferential direction with two opposite edges. A gripping section for a clamping mechanism is provided at each of the edges. Furthermore, the battery pole terminal has a clamping mechanism which acts on the gripping sections and can exert a clamping force on the edges, pushing the opposite edges toward each other. A force limiting mechanism is provided which, when a minimum distance between the edges is reached, prevents an increase in the clamping force on the gripping sections.

An automotive battery includes a positive contact slot in a battery housing, the slot opening into a positive slot encasement inside the battery for insertion of a positive electrical prong for electrical connection to a contact region on a positive battery post; and, a negative contact slot in the battery housing, the slot opening into a negative slot encasement inside the battery for insertion of a negative electrical prong for electrical connection to a contact region on a negative battery post.

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.

An electric connection plug (5, 5′, 5″) for an electric cable (3) for use with an electric terminal (20, 21, 20′, 21′) of a battery module (2, 2′). The plug includes a conductive fitting (51, 51′, 51″) engaged with a rotatable wheel (56, 56′, 56″) for selectively rotating the fitting to threadingly mechanically and electrically connect to plug to the battery terminal. The cable mechanically and electrically connects to the plug allowing rotation of the wheel and fitting without rotation of the cable while threadingly engaging and disengaging the plug to the battery terminal.

A connector apparatus for a battery includes: a connector block assembly mounted in a battery case of a battery assembly, and including first and second electrodes facing the interior of the battery case; and a header assembly releasably mounted to the connector block assembly, and including first and second terminals connected to the first and second electrodes, respectively. The header assembly is exposed to the exterior of the battery case and the first and second terminals are electrically connected to terminals of a mating connector, respectively.
