Abstract:
A battery terminal (A-C), comprising:an arcuate fastening portion (11; 31) to be fitted on a battery post (P), first and second extending portions (12; 32) extending from the arcuate fastening portion (11; 31), and a fastening means (15) for deforming the fastening portion (11; 31) to reduce its diameter by bringing the extending portions (12; 32) closer to each other, wherein at least one of the extending portions (12; 32) comprises: a primary stopper (22; 34) for restricting movement of the extending portions (12; 32) toward each other by being brought into a contact state when a space between the extending portions (12; 32) is narrowed to a specified degree, and a secondary stopper (25; 39) for restricting movement of the extending portions (12; 32) toward each other by being brought into a contact state when the space between the extending portions (12; 32) is less than the state where the primary stopper (22; 34) is substantially in the contact state while being accompanied by deformation of at least one of the primary stopper (22; 34) and the extending portions (12; 32).
