Abstract
A battery terminal (1) includes a main body (10) with upper and lower plates (20U, 20L). The upper plate (20U) includes an upper mounting hole (23U), and upper plate fastening portions (26U, 27U). The lower plate (20L) includes a lower mounting hole (23L) and lower plate fastening portions (26L, 27L). A first receiving wall (41A) is connected to a first upper plate fastening portion (26U) and engages a first lower plate fastening portion (26L). A second receiving wall (41B) is connected to the second upper plate fastening portion (27U) and engages the second lower plate fastening portion (27L). A bracket (70) is mounted on the main body (10) and has a first pressing portion (73A) with a first tapered surface (74A) to contact the first receiving wall (41A) and a second pressing portion (73B) with a second tapered surface (74B) to contact the second receiving wall (41B).
