Claim:
1. A battery terminal, comprising a pole contact element which is designed to surround a pole of a rechargeable battery on a mounting plane; a first limb and a second limb which are each connected to the pole contact element, the spacing between the first and second limbs being reducible by application of force in order to fasten the pole contact element to the pole; and a tensioning arrangement which couples the two limbs to one another, and having a tensioning screw which can be actuated so as to apply force to the two limbs, and which is oriented along a tensioning direction which is tilted with respect to the mounting plane, wherein the tensioning arrangement comprises a first clamping piece which can be positioned on the first limb and a second clamping piece which can be positioned on the second limb, wherein the tensioning screw is passed through a first screw receptacle formed in the first clamping piece and a second screw receptacle formed in the second clamping piece, said first and second screw receptacles being aligned with one another along the tensioning direction; and wherein the first and/or the second limb has a support element pointing in the direction of the other limb at an end portion facing away from the pole contact, by means of which support element the limbs support each other at least when the battery terminal is mounted on the pole; and wherein the support element is formed by a limb portion which is bent towards the other limb.
