Abstract
A battery clamp assembly connecting an electrical wire to a battery terminal includes a body having a clamp cavity and at least one connection socket for receiving the electrical wire, a clamp device positioned in the clamp cavity, a compression wedge positioned in the clamp cavity, and a fastening member that engages the compression wedge to couple the clamp and the compression wedge to the body. A polarity marker may be plugged into a terminal aperture provided in an access cover to permit visual identification of the terminal connection. A method of completing an electrical circuit between a component and a power source may include coupling a battery clamp assembly to the power source, connecting the electrical wire to the battery clamp assembly by securing the electrical wire into the connection using the compression screw, and tightening the fastening member which engages the compression wedge to close the clamp. A post to be used for attachment of a jumper cable may be mounted to the battery clamp.
