Abstract
A battery terminal connection assembly for connecting a terminal to a cable is disclosed. The assembly preferably includes a conductive cable fitting for connection to a cable, a conductive terminal connector having an arm adapted to engage the terminal, a cold-flow-resistant sleeve positioned in and bonded to the connector, the sleeve defining a bore for receiving the cable fitting, and a tensioning member adapted to connect to and urge the cable fitting into contact with the bore. When assembled, the tensioning member ensures electrical contact between the cable and the terminal. The invention also includes a battery terminal and cable connection arrangement utilizing such a connection assembly.
