Battery terminal provided with a current sensor

Abstract

A battery-side terminal (2) includes a fastening ring (5) to be fixed to a battery post (1), and a connecting piece (8) extends from the fastening ring (5). A current sensor (4) includes a sensor portion (4A) formed with a slit (14) through which the connecting piece (8) is insertable. The battery-side terminal (2) and the current (4) are transported to a connection site while being assembled into one unit. At the connection site, the connecting piece (8) and the harness-side terminal (3) are aligned and placed one over the other, and are tightened by means of a bolt. This tightening operation is performed at a position distanced from a battery, and hence can be performed smoothly performed without being hindered.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
