The present invention is directed to a protective terminal structure for a battery post which includes a protective cap member, an upstanding stud member for receiving a battery cable connector, and a locking nut for fastening the battery cable connector to the stud member. In addition, it includes a grease fitting with passageways for providing grease or lubricant to the battery post within the protective cap member. The cap member is preferably formed of tellurium copper and is color coded to indicate a positive or negative battery post.
