terminal board


Explanation:
It's called terminal board in the field of electricity, since we are talking about batteries here. バンcould either be 板 or 盤, but the term "terminal board" is used for both.

I'm having a second thought about this. If the application is battery 'system' like used in hybrid vehicles, terminal block is probably OK. If this is battery like a little cell battery, electrode plate is more appropriate????
