This disclosure pertains to a battery terminal connector adapted to manually connect a battery cable to the rod shaped terminal popularly found on vehicular storage batteries comprising a metallic housing to which the cable is electrically connected, a longitudinal hole passing through said housing, having a gradually diminishing diameter tapered hole at one end thereof. A hollow rod-like conducting resilient material having a truncated cone-like shape whose apex is adjacent the cylindrical end thereof has two or more longitudinal notches located in the truncated conical surface, permitting the walls thereof to be drawn inwardly radially as the conical exterior surfaces are drawn into the tapered hole of the longitudinal opening in the housing. The battery post or terminal is grasped by the opening at the base of the conical section. A spring and bolt assembly causes the cone shaped grasping insert to be urged into the tapered hole.
