Abstract
A battery cable assembly has a pair of electrical cables and at least one pair of clamps, each clamp being connected to one end of one of the cables for establishing electrical connection between the cables and electrical terminals of a battery. A light source is mounted on at least one of the clamps, the light source being powered by an electrical source that is independent of the battery and located remote to the clamps. A switch, which is located remote to the clamps, controls the flow of electricity from the electrical source to the light source, allowing an operator to selectively activate the light source for illuminating objects near the corresponding clamp prior to connection to the battery.
