Claim:
A connecting terminal assembly for a storage battery, comprising: a fixation plate having an aperture extending therethrough; a fixation member having a first portion insertable into the aperture of said fixation plate; an insertion member extending from said fixation plate and having upper and lower elastic bodies spaced from one another to define a gap therebetween, the upper and lower elastic bodies defining an insertion hole therein, the upper and lower elastic bodies each having flanged portions extending toward one another; and a tightening member extending from said insertion member, said tightening member comprising two opposing body members having a transversely oriented tightening hole extending therethrough and configured to receive a tightening fastener therein, and a fold portion formed into the body members to inhibit deformation of the tightening member when the fastener is adjusted to move the upper and lower elastic bodies of the insertion member relative to one another and thereby adjust the diameter of the insertion hole.
