Abstract

A combination battery booster cable connector for both top and side terminal batteries for connecting battery cables, which includes a pair of hinged clamp halves, which are resiliently urged together, and have jaws formed adjacent each end, to engage a top battery terminal when in closed engaged position. The connector has portions extending forwardly from the jaws on one side for engaging the side terminal bolt of a side terminal battery.
