Terrell, C

A battery has a container sealed by a lid in which two shallow recesses are formed. Within each recess is a terminal which does not project out of the recess and which has a tapped hole afforded by a hard metal insert. Two elongate terminal connectors are provided with a hole at one end and a current take-off portion at the other end. The battery is sold with the recesses closed by two flush cover plates and two terminal connectors of desired type. The cover plates are removed and the terminal connectors connected to the terminals by means of screws. A part of each terminal connector is accommodated in the recesses thus restraining the terminal connectors from rotation.
