Abstract
The disclosed battery terminal bolt is of a unitary assembly, having an elongated threaded stem terminating at an englarged body or head, and a plurality of arms rigidly projected radially from the body or head at a location axially spaced from the threaded stem. The arms may be angled slightly out of perpendicular relative to the threaded stem, in a direction axially away from the threaded stem; or may be perpendicular relative to the threaded stem. The arms provide convenient places to allow for the temporary and separable connection of alligator clamps of a jump cable. The bolt may be formed of separate components secured together, including one component having the head and threaded stem, and one component having the arms. The unitary bolt assembly may be copper plated for improved conductivity.
