Abstract
A battery terminal connector for a generally cube-shaped automotive battery. The battery has a flat, horizontally disposed top. The battery terminal connector has a body portion with a top, a bottom, and an intermediate aperture for engaging a battery post. This intermediate aperture has a size that is variable to accommodate placement of the connector onto, and the removal of the connector from, the battery post. The battery terminal connector has a lever with two opposite ends, the first end being connected to the terminal connector, and the second end being positioned above the flat horizontally disposed top of the battery. The second end is easily accessible so as to permit a user to actuate that lever, and move that lever from a first position to a second position. Movement from the first to the second position facilitates the removal of overcaps.
