Abstract: An electrical connector (20) for connecting a battery post (25) to a wire (30) is described. The electrical connector (20) comprises a U-shaped clamp (35) having (i) a concave portion (40) sized to hold the battery post (25); and (ii) opposing first and second legs (45), (50) extending from the concave portion. The first leg (45) has a first hole (55) therethrough, and the second leg (50) has a second hole (60) that is substantially aligned with the first hole. Unitary compression means extending through the first and second holes of the U-shaped clamp, is provided for (i) compressing a wire against the U-shaped clamp, and (ii) compression fitting the U-shaped clamp about the battery post. In a preferred configuration, the unitary compression means comprises a wire holding compression stud (65) extending through the first hole (55) and second hole (60), and fastening means for tightening the stud (65) on the U-shaped clamp (35).
