A battery cover which is detachably attachable to a battery, the battery comprising a top portion, a side wall portion, a positive terminal and a negative terminal. The battery cover comprises a positive and a negative terminal connector, a positive wire connector which is connected to the positive terminal connector by a first segment of electrically conductive material, a negative wire connector which is connected to the negative terminal connector by a second segment of electrically conductive material, a resilient top portion to which the terminal connectors are attached, and a resilient side portion to which the wire connectors are attached. The top portion is sized and configured to substantially cover the top portion of the battery when the cover is installed on the battery. The positive and negative terminal connectors are sized and configured to be placed in electrically conductive contact with their respective positive and negative terminals when the cover is installed on the battery, while the positive and negative wire connectors each are sized and configured to be placed in electrically conductive contact with a free end portion of a respective electrical wire. Apparatus for storing and dispensing electrical energy incorporating a cover of this invention is also described.
