Claim:
A connection terminal for a storage battery, which includes a fixing plate having a hole of a predetermined size formed at the center thereof, a fixing member vertically mounted in the hole of the fixing plate, an insertion part mounted at a side of the fixing plate and formed in a round shape opened at a side thereof for inserting a post terminal of the storage battery thereto, and a tightening member for coupling the insertion part with a post terminal of the storage battery by changing a diameter of the insertion part, wherein the tightening member comprises: a pair of projections extending from the opened portion of the insertion part in a direction opposed to the fixing plate; a cover for covering the insertion part to prevent damages due to sulfurous acid gas generated from the storage battery and reduce a diameter of the insertion part; and a coupler for coupling the cover with the pair of projections to form a rotational point for the cover, the coupler including a hinged portion of the pair of projections, a hinged portion of the cover and a hinge pin, the hinge pin rotatably coupling the hinged portion of the pair of projections and the hinged portion of the cover with each other, and wherein the cover includes: a head portion having the hinged portion on a side thereof and side walls spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval for surrounding the insertion part; a grip extending from an upper surface of the head portion; and interval-keeping means respectively mounted at a front aspect and a rear aspect of the head portion for preventing expansion of an interval between the side walls when the cover is coupled with the insertion part.
