Automotive battery connection system
First Claim
1. An automotive battery connection system, comprising:
- a battery case acting as a terminal for an automotive battery, said case having a case front half and a case back half, said case back half having a keyway defined therein by a pair of keyway partitions projecting toward a center of said battery case, said battery case further including a center partition dividing said battery case into two case pockets;
a battery positive post situated within one of said case pockets;
a battery negative post situated in the other of said case pockets;
a plug, said plug further including a base and an upper portion formed integral to said base and above said base, said base configured to connect to said battery case;
a pair of sockets defined within said base, each said socket shaped identical to said battery positive post and said battery negative post sized to have each said battery positive post and said battery negative post securely seat therein, each said socket lined with a conductive material;
cables terminating within said base of said plug in conductive communication with said sockets, wherein electric energy can be supplied from said battery to said cables.

Abstract
An automotive battery connection system, which includes a substantially cylindrical battery case acting as a terminal for an automotive battery. The battery case includes partitions defining a keyway for cables and a center partition dividing the battery case into two case pockets. A battery positive post is situated within one of the case pockets. A battery negative post is situated in the other of the case pockets. A substantially cylindrical plug is adapted to seat on the partitions of the battery case. The plug comprises a pair of sockets defined within its base, each socket defined within one of the plug pockets shaped identical to the battery positive post and the battery negative post and sized to have the battery positive post and the battery negative post securely seat therein. Therefore, cables terminating within the base of the plug are in conductive communication with the sockets.
