Abstract
A battery connection system includes a conductor configured to connect with a battery that has a post. An inner clamp element has a wall that is shaped to mate with the post and that defines a hollow interior and an exterior. The wall has a notch defining a void in the wall. An outer clamp element mates with the exterior of the wall of the inner clamp element to reduce the size of the void to secure the conductor to the battery.
Claims20
A battery connection system comprising:
- a conductor configured to connect with a battery that has a post;
- an inner clamp element configured to fit over the post, wherein the inner clamp element has a wall that defines a hollow interior and an exterior, wherein the wall has a notch defining a void in the wall;
- and
- an outer clamp element configured to mate with the exterior of the wall of the inner clamp element with a mating segment of the outer clamp element receiving and surrounding the wall of the inner clamp element, and the outer clamp element configured to reduce the void to secure the conductor to the battery.
