A quick-release battery post connector having an electrically conductive U-shaped clamp with legs that are connected by a pivot member which reciprocates in response to movement of a lever about an upstanding post on each leg. The lever has a boss that rotates within an opening in the pivot member and includes an aperture into which extends one of the clamp leg posts. The aperture axis is offset from the rotational axis of the boss whereby movement of the lever will result in changing the distance between the spaced-apart legs.
