Abstract
One feature of the present invention is a battery to be mounted on a vehicle, in which the battery casing is formed with a recess into which a starter magnetic switch is fitted. Another feature of the invention is a starter magnetic switch which can be fitted into the recess formed in the battery. The starter magnetic switch has a rocker means which is made of a conductive material. The rocker means has a moving electric contact which is biased normally open and which is closed when the solenoids built into the switch are energized, to close the drive circuit of a starter motor. The rocking means has one end projecting to the outside of a switch casing and is fastened to the positive terminal of the battery. In addition, a supporting means, which projects to the outside of the switch casing at the side opposed to the portion where the rocking means projects, is fastened to the negative terminal of the battery. The rocking means is arranged such that the portion fastened to the positive terminal of the battery and the portion to be attracted by the solenoids are offset while holding a generally parallel relationship not in a common plane.
