The terminal connector includes a first terminal member made from metal inert to the environment within said cell and adapted for interfacing internally within the cell. The first terminal member includes a socket portion communicating with the exterior of the cell. The terminal connector also includes a second terminal member made from low electrical resistance metal and is adapted for engagement within the socket portion from the exterior of the cell.

Terminal connector for electrochemical cells

An assembly for preventing a battery terminal from rotating with respect to a battery container. The assembly is comprised of a collar having an aperture therethrough and a washer having an aperture therethrough which has a configuration substantially similar to the cross sectional configuration of a threaded portion of the terminal. The annular collar defines two faces having separate sockets formed therein. At least one nut is mated with the threaded portion of the terminal to releasably secure the washer within the socket formed in one face of the collar. The collar and washer cooperate to maintain the terminal and the container in a set position.
