Abstract
A terminal assembly is provided for use with an electric storage battery for making electrical output connections from the battery. The terminal assembly includes a pair of end sections to which electrical cables are connected by passing bolts through openings in lugs of the cables and advancing the bolts into corresponding threaded openings provided in metal insert terminals disposed within insulative body portions of the end sections. The end sections are constructed so that the bolts can be advanced and tightened within their associated openings only by a socket wrench, and the bolt sizes, lug sizes and openings in the lugs are selected to prevent and minimize misconnection of the cables. A separator member interposed between the end sections minimizes the possibility of the bolts being shorted together by a metal tool.
