Apparatus for seating wire clamp to terminal of vehicle battery

An apparatus for use with a vehicle battery having first and second battery terminals and a wire clamp configured to be operatively received by one of the battery terminals, the apparatus comprising:

• a fixture assembly configured to:
• operatively convey, at least in part, a seating force to the wire clamp being received by the battery terminal;
• and
• operatively seat the wire clamp relative to the battery terminal while the seating force is conveyed to the wire clamp in such a way that the wire clamp becomes and remains operatively seated relative to the battery terminal during operative installation of the wire clamp relative to the battery terminal;
• and
• an annunciation assembly including an annunciator element in the form of one or more tri-colored LEDs or speakers operatively coupled with an electrical circuit, the electrical circuit including first and second conductive contacts and being responsive to an operative conductive coupling by the first and second conductive contacts with the first and second battery terminals, and configured to audibly or visibly annunciate at least any one of:
• the wire clamp is operatively seated to the battery terminal, by operative conductive coupling of the conductive contact therewith to activate the annunciator, while the fixture assembly receives the seating force to seat the wire clamp;
• and
• the wire clamp is not operatively seated to the battery terminal, by non-operative conductive coupling by the conductive contact with the battery terminal that results in a failure to activate the annunciator;
• wherein the one or more tri-colored LEDs are configured to annunciate an acceptable status by a green color, an unacceptable status by a red color, and a marginal status by a yellow color.
