Battery terminal lug equipped with shunt for measuring battery current
First Claim
1. A battery terminal lug (1) equipped with a shunt (7) for measuring a battery current and a support (8) of at least one electronic component, comprising:
- a first terminal lug part (2) configured to be secured to a terminal of a battery;
a second terminal lug part (3) configured to be secured to a cable of the battery which is associated with the terminal of the battery;

Abstract
A battery terminal lug (1) is disclosed, the lug being equipped with a shunt (7) for measuring the battery current and other battery characteristics. The lug includes a support (8), such as for a printed circuit, of at least one electronic component. The lug is made up of a first part (2), which is configured to be secured to a terminal of the battery, and a second part, which is configured to be secured to the cable of the battery (which is ordinarily directly associated with the terminal of the battery). The two parts (2, 3) of the terminal lug are electrically insulated from one another and are provided with projecting portions (28, 38) to bear the shunt (7), and a casing (5, 6) to accommodate the shunt (7) and the support (8), wherein electrical insulation (4, 17) is positioned so as to intervene between the two parts (2, 3) of the terminal lug (1).
