Quick change battery clamp

A quick change battery clamp configured to be reversibly coupled to a battery post, comprising:

• a first clamp body;
• a second clamp body coupled to the first clamp body;
• a handle assembly selectively disposed through each of the first clamp body and the second clamp body and configured to transition the first clamp body and the second clamp body between an open position and a closed position, an interior wall of one of the first clamp body, the second clamp body, and the first clamp body and the second clamp body includes a plurality of ridges, the plurality of ridges are disposed substantially parallel with a top surface and a bottom surface of the one of the first clamp body, the second clamp body, and the first clamp body and the second clamp body, the interior wall of one of the first clamp body, the second clamp body, the first clamp body and the second clamp body is outwardly tapered, the outwardly tapered interior wall of the one of the first clamp body, the second clamp body, and the first clamp body and the second clamp body has a first tapered portion and a second tapered portion, the first tapered portion and the second tapered portion of the one of the first clamp body, the second clamp body, and the first clamp body and the second clamp body meet at an apex, each of the first tapered portion and the second tapered portion of the one of the first clamp body, the second clamp body, and the first clamp body and the second clamp body is outwardly tapered at an angle of about 3.2 degrees, each of the first clamp body and the second clamp body have a connection portion, the first clamp body connection portion and the second clamp body connection portion disposed adjacently when the quick change battery clamp is in a closed position, the first clamp body connection portion is fixedly coupled to a portion of the handle assembly, the handle assembly is a cam lever, the cam lever includes a rod and a handle, the cam lever biases against the second connection portion, where the rod is disposed through the aperture of the second connection portion and is affixed to the first connection portion, the handle is rotatably connected to the rod, the second clamp body is hingedly connected to the first clamp body;
• a pin disposed through each of the first clamp body and the second clamp body, wherein the second clamp body is configured selectively rotate about the pin relative to the first clamp body;
• and
• a wire connecting structure disposed on one of the top surface and the bottom surface of the first clamp body, the wire connecting structure includes a channel configured to receive a wire,
• wherein the first clamp body and the second clamp body define an aperture having a substantially polygonal cross-section configured to receive the battery post, the substantially polygonal cross-section is a substantially quadrilateral cross-section.
