Abstract

A car battery post fixing structure for installation on a car battery post structure enables facilitating connection with terminals of a car electrical system. The invention includes a fixing cap and a cap nut, wherein a screw thread is configured on an outside wall of the fixing cap, which allows the cap nut to screw down thereon. Furthermore, a screw thread is in an inverse direction to that of the screw thread of the outside wall, is configured on an inside wall of the fixing cap, moreover, a plurality of grooves are defined on a side edge of an opening of a bottom portion of the fixing cap. An extended screw is configured on a top portion of the fixing cap, and when installing, rigid tightening of the fixing cap onto a battery post is realized, which not only achieves convenience in installing, moreover, provides greater safety.

Claims
