ABSTRACT:
The subject of the invention is a circuit for monitoring the charge state of a battery for supplying voltage to an electrical consumer through a mode selector switch which may be switched from an OFF-state for disconnecting the electrical consumer from the battery into an ON-state for connecting the electrical consumer with said battery whereby in said ON-state different modes of operation of said electrical consumer are possible. The charge state of the battery is determined when the mode selector switch is in the ON-state and, when the voltage drops below an adjustable threshold value, an acoustic and/or optical indication is triggered after the electrical consumer is switched off. The circuit in the ON-state consumes only a very slight amount of energy and no additional energy in the OFF-state. In addition to the mode selector switch for switching the electrical consumer on and off, no battery test button or additional battery test position of the mode selector switch is required.
