Abstract
A battery pack unit is disclosed that includes an abrasive material or surface in a location where battery clamps of the battery pack unit are placed for storage. This provides for a surface where the battery clamps can be frictionally cleaned to remove unwanted corrosion or deposits from the battery clamps. This allows the cleaned battery clamps to be connected to terminals of a battery without experiencing a significant reduction in flow of current between the battery clamps and the terminals of the battery.
Claims21
A battery clamp cleaning device, comprising:
- a storage structure onto which the battery clamp is disposed for storage;
- and
- an abrasive surface disposed on the storage structure and interfacing with at least one of upper and lower jaws of the battery clamp when the battery clamp is disposed on the storage structure.
A battery pack unit, comprising:
- a housing;
- an electrical source disposed in the housing;
- a cable electrically coupled to a terminal of the electrical source and extending out of the housing;
- a battery clamp electrically coupled to the cable exterior to the housing;
- a storage structure formed on the housing and onto which the battery clamp is disposed for storage;
- and
- an abrasive surface disposed on the storage structure and interfacing with at least one of upper and lower jaws of the battery clamp when the battery clamp is disposed on the storage structure.
