A battery terminal having a post-engaging portion configured to receive a battery post. The post-engaging portion has an arcuate portion having a first portion, a second portion and a slot separating the first portion from the second portion. Wherein in response to the lever being moved toward a closed position, the first portion and second portion are subjected to a tensile force, causing the first portion and the second portion to elongate while not exceeding the yield strength of the first portion and the second portion generating stored energy in the first portion and the second portion. The stored energy results in a constant normal force being applied by the first portion and the second portion of to the battery post to provide and maintain a gastight electrical contact interface between the first portion and the second portion and the battery post.

Quick connection battery terminal

This present invention refers to a combined terminal and casing for establishing electrical contact between a multi-wire cable and a magnetic wire that uses the insulation displacement connector (IDC) concept, wherein the terminal () has holes () and closed channels () to receive the multi-wire cable () and openings () to receive the magnetic wire () linked to narrow slots (). The casing () has through-holes () for inserting the multi-wire cable () and the magnetic wire (), as well as an opening () to receive the terminal. Inserting the terminal into the casing causes the pressure exerted on the multi-wire cable and the magnetic wire to force the entry thereof into the narrow channels, causing the isolation layer to be withdrawn, providing electrical contact between the multi-wire cable and the terminal, between the magnetic wire and the terminal and, consequently, between the multi-wire cable and the magnetic wire.
