Abstract
A modular battery terminal connector assembly designed to connect batteries together in series or in parallel. The connector assembly has a first electrically conductive elbow member, an electrically conductive connecting member and a second electrically conductive connecting member. The first conductive elbow member is coupled at one end to a first terminal of a first battery, preferably, by a toolless socket which frictionally engages and grips the first terminal of the first battery. The other end of the first conductive elbow member is coupled to a second terminal of a second battery, preferably, by a toolless socket. The conductive connecting member interconnects the first and second conductive elbow members together, preferably, by a pair of toolless sockets. In some embodiments, the toolless sockets are fixedly coupled to the elbow members, while the connecting member is either a single rod or a plurality of rods interconnected by sleeve members. In other embodiments, the toolless sockets are separate, individual parts for coupling the elbow members and the connecting members together.
