Patent number: 10727470Abstract: A battery terminal having a post-engaging portion configured to receive a battery post. The post-engaging portion has an arcuate portion having a first portion, a second portion and a slot separating the first portion from the second portion. Wherein in response to the lever being moved toward a closed position, the first portion and second portion are subjected to a tensile force, causing the first portion and the second portion to elongate while not exceeding the yield strength of the first portion and the second portion generating stored energy in the first portion and the second portion. The stored energy results in a constant normal force being applied by the first portion and the second portion of to the battery post to provide and maintain a gastight electrical contact interface between the first portion and the second portion and the battery post.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2016Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: TYCO ELECTRONICS BRASIL LTDA.Inventors: Joannes Willem Maria Roosdorp, Fabio Fortunato Christiano
