Battery Connector

A battery connector for a battery having a terminal post, the battery connector including a main body with a terminal clamp end and a lead end, the battery connector further comprising:

• a clamp body including:
• a conductive body for conducting charge from the lead end to the terminal clamp end;
• a lead mount disposed at the lead end for mounting a lead;
• an arcuate wall which provides a battery terminal post aperture for receiving the terminal post;
• a substantially insulating clamp actuator;
• an adjuster including first and second cooperating ramps, the first ramp mounted on the arcuate wall and the second ramp mounted on the clamp actuator, at least one ramp or flange being movable between a wide position and a narrow position,
• wherein the clamp actuator is configured to cooperate with the clamp body to close the arcuate wall around the terminal post by a relative movement between the insulating clamp actuator and the clamp body.

A battery connector for connecting a lead to a terminal post of an automotive and/or mechanical battery, the battery connector including:

• a connector body including a terminal end and a lead end, the connector body including:
• a clamp at the terminal end for clamping to the terminal post, the clamp including a conductive arcuate wall to provide a terminal post aperture adjustable in size for clamping substantially around the terminal post;
• an auxiliary lead mounting zone disposed at the lead end for mounting one or more auxiliary leads,
• wherein there is a lead end closure formed of an insulating material for controlling access to the auxiliary lead end for connecting and disconnecting the one or more auxiliary leads without disconnecting the connector from the terminal post.
