What is claimed is: 1. A battery terminal comprising: a battery terminal body for mounting on a battery post, said battery terminal body including: a pair of fastening portions each having a curved surface of a generally U-shape; an annular portion having a battery post insertion hole and extending from said pair of fastening portions; a wire connection portion extending from said annular portion; a corrosion-protective cover, molded of a synthetic resin, disposed between said battery terminal body and a battery so as to prevent the corrosion of said battery terminal body, said corrosion-protective cover including: a base plate portion having a battery post insertion hole; a first hook portion formed at a rear end of said base plate portion so as to be engaged with said wire connection portion; and a second hook portion, having elasticity and a generally U-shape, formed at a front end of said base plate portion and retainingly fitted on said curved surfaces with said first hook portion being engaged with said wire connection portion. 2. A battery terminal according to claim 1, wherein a free distal end portion of said second hook portion is formed such that said curved surfaces of said battery terminal body are first brought into contact with said free distal end portion. 3. A battery terminal according to claim 2, wherein said free distal end portion is formed into a radiused shape. 4. A battery terminal according to claim 1, wherein a center of said second hook portion is closer to said battery than a center of each of said curved surfaces. 5. A battery terminal according to claim 1, wherein said base plate portion has displacement prevention portions for preventing the displacement of said corrosion-protective cover relative to said battery terminal body, said displacement prevention portions formed respectively at right and left side edges of said base plate portion. 6. A battery terminal according to claim 5, wherein each displacement prevention portions has plate shaped ribs inserted into said battery terminal body in such a manner that said ribs are erected respectively from said displacement prevention portions. 7. The battery terminal according to claim 1, wherein said second hook portion is positioned closer to said battery post insertion hole than said first hook portion. 8. The battery terminal according to claim 1, wherein said second hook portion is formed at a distal end of said front end of said base plate portion and said first hook portion is formed at a distal end of said rear end of said base plate portion.
