Abstract: A battery contact terminal assembly for electrically connecting the conducting end of a cable to a battery post so that the mechanical and electrical connection can be effectively ensured. The assembly includes two hingedly mounted members with semicircle ends each that embrace the post when a fastening member tightens the free ends. The fastening members include a hook that pulls the conducting end against one of the members. An anti-corrosion member is sandwiched between the two free ends for protection against the electrolyte chemical reaction typical in batteries.
