battery terminal
Jumper cable connection
A battery terminal is one of the metal posts or connectors on a battery where electrical cables attach.
Car batteries have positive and negative terminals, typically marked with + and − symbols.
Corrosion on battery terminals—the crusty buildup that forms over time—is a common cause of starting problems: I had to clean the battery terminals to get the car running.
