Battery terminal bushing and lead acid battery

A battery terminal bushing comprising:

• a body having an insertion end and an exterior end opposite the insertion end;
• one or more sealing rings on the body;
• and
• a plurality of anti-torque features on an outer surface of the body configured to fixedly engage with a battery housing material, wherein the plurality of anti-torque features comprise a surface area of at least approximately 200 mm2 and provide a resistance to torque which is greater than 150 inch-pounds of torque.

A battery terminal bushing comprising:

• a body having an insertion end and an exterior end opposite the insertion end;
• one or more sealing rings on the body between the insertion end and the exterior end;
• a terminal post connector segment on the insertion end of the body;
• and
• an anti-torque region of increased surface area on one or more surfaces of the body configured to fixedly engage and be contained within the battery housing material, the anti-torque region comprising a first anti-torque feature having an anti-torque ring proximate the exterior end and a second anti-torque feature including an anti-torque pattern proximate the insertion end and spaced apart from the first anti-torque feature, the first anti-torque feature including a pattern of alternating peaks and valleys in a form of teeth and the second anti-torque feature including a pattern of peaks, valleys, curves, and undulations to form a variation in dimension on the one or more surfaces.
