Abstract: A pair of generally parallel, electrically conductive and ferrous material plates are provided and permanent magnets structure is sandwiched between the plates. An elongated electrically conductive threaded fastener includes a portion thereof projecting outwardly from the side of one of the plates remote from the other plate and may be removably threadedly anchored within an endwise outwardly opening bore formed in a recessed battery post. An electrically conductive member is also provided to which one end of the battery cable may be electrically connected and the contact member includes at least generally one planar side. The contact member is positionable with the planar side thereof abutting, spanning and magnetically attracted to a pair of side marginal edges of the plates which are disposed in the same plane.

Abstract: A magnetic electrical connector utilizable to complete an electrical connection between an internal combustion engine and a battery includes a pair of hollow sleeves constructed of magnetic material and connected together by a magnet. One of the hollow sleeves is attached to a battery cable while the other sleeve is fixedly secured to one of the battery posts, and a long magnet is then positioned within both of the sleeves to complete the electrical connection. The sleeves may be of any desired shape, such as cylindrical, square and the like, while the connecting magnets will be similarly shaped so as to conformingly fit within the sleeves, and spring arms may be positioned on the sleeves to provide an additional means of holding the magnets in place. Additionally, a magnet may be attached directly to a top mount battery post without the necessity of utilizing a sleeve by drilling a hole through the post into which the magnet may be inserted.
