Abstract

A flip adapter for enabling connection of auxiliary cables to a side terminal of a side terminal battery includes a clamp adapted for fitting over and gripping the side terminal. The adapter is stored against the outside of one of the jaws of the connector of the auxiliary cables and is hinged to the connector for flipping one end of the adapter between the opposed jaws of the auxiliary connector to rotate the adapter forward into its operative position and to firmly retain it in that position.
