Abstract
A protective cover has a body in which an electrical wire connection part of a battery connection terminal is installed and a cover piece covering a clamping part of the terminal and hinged to the body. The cover piece contains a pair of elastically deformable locking arms extending vertically. The body has receiving portions locking lip portions of the locking arms thereto when the cover piece is closed. The locking arms are protected inside the cover piece and are sufficiently flexible to reduce risk of breakage on repeated opening and closing.
