Battery clamp for use with top post and side post batteries and methods for using the same
First Claim
1. A battery clamp for use with (a) batteries with top post terminal connections and (b) batteries with side post terminal connections, comprising:
- a first jaw handle and a second jaw handle, the jaw handles each having a handle portion and a clamping portion, the jaw handles being pivotally coupled to each other, the jaw handles being biased with the clamping portions being in a substantially closed position, the clamping portions being configured to be coupled to a top-post terminal of a top-post battery;
a jaw member insulator coupled to the clamping portion of the first jaw handle;
a jaw member coupled to the jaw member insulator, the jaw member being electrically insulated from the first and the second jaw handles; and
a side post adapter, the side post adapter being coupled to the handle portion of the second jaw handle, the side post adapter including a load pad and a volt rod, the load pad having an aperture therein, a portion of the volt rod protruding through the aperture of the load pad.

Abstract
A battery clamp for use with (a) top post terminal connections and (b) batteries with side post terminal connections includes a first and a second jaw handle. The first and second jaw handles each have a handle portion and a clamping portion. The first and second jaw handles are pivotally coupled to each other and are biased with the clamping portions in a closed position. The battery clamp further includes a side post adapter. The side post adapter is coupled to the handle portion of one of the jaw handles. The side post adapter includes a load pad and a volt rod. The load pad has an aperture, through which a portion of the volt rod protrudes.
