Claim:
A connector apparatus for use in connecting a battery-power cable to a battery-terminal post, the battery post having a circumference and a convex outer surface, the connector comprising: a tightenable adjustment band that provides for connector installation, removal and tension adjustment; a band-tightness-adjustment assembly operatively coupled to the band to form a first band clamp; and a radius electrical conductor that provides a primary electrical current path and includes a cable-wire-attachment feature to enable power distribution from the battery-terminal post through the cable, wherein the band-tightness-adjustment assembly, the band, and the radius electrical conductor form a tightenable inner opening configured to surround and tighten on the battery-terminal post, wherein the radius electrical conductor has a concave surface configured to conform to at least a portion of the convex outer surface of the battery-terminal post, and adapted to cover and contact at least one-fourth of the conformed-to convex portion of the circumference of the battery-terminal post.
