A battery cable-to-battery post connector is described for use in conjunction with a battery of the type including a recessed battery post having an outwardly opening threaded bore formed therin. The connector includes a pair of generally parallel electrically conductive and ferrous plates, permanent magnet means sandwiched and secured between the plates, an elongated electrically conductive threaded fastener including at least a portion thereof projecting outwardly of the side of one of the plates remote from the other plate electrically connected to both of the plates and adapted for threaded anchoring in the bore, the connector also including an electrically conductive contact member constructed of ferrous material and to which one end of a battery cable may be electrically connected. The contact member includes at least one generally planar side, the plates including exposed corresponding side marginal edges disposed in the same plane. The contact member is positionable with the planar side abutted against, spanning the spacing between and magnetically attracted to the edges.
