Abstract
The battery terminal clamp is capable of being received by batteries having either top post or side terminals. A connector is slidably carried between the clamp portions of a battery clamp. The connector includes a pair of longitudinal arms and interconnecting web providing a handle. The connector is selectively extensible beyond the connector jaws for engaging a battery side terminal. When connected to a battery side terminal the jaws engage the connector for applying pressure to the connector arms for assuring a good electrical and mechanical connection to the battery side terminal.
