Abstract
A battery terminal having a pair of contact tulips that mate with a device terminal in a mating direction. The first of the pair of contact tulips mates with the device terminal in a first contact plane and the second of the pair of contact tulips mates with the device terminal in a second contact plane. The first contact plane is generally parallel to the contact plane. Both the first and the second contact planes are generally perpendicular to the mating direction. The resistance between the first tulip and the device terminal is approximately half the resistance between the second tulip and the device terminal.
