ABSTRACT:
A system for automatic loading, unloading and charging of rechargeable batteries used in battery electric traction motor powered vehicles comprises a battery recharge station, a battery load and unload station adapted for positioning a battery powered vehicle in a preselected position, and a programmable battery transport apparatus programmed for automatically removing discharged batteries from the vehicle, transporting the discharged batteries to a battery recharge station, unloading the discharged batteries into the recharge station, retrieving charged batteries from the recharge station, transporting the charged batteries to the vehicle and loading the charged batteries onto the vehicle. The system may also include a battery water check station, the transport apparatus being programmed to transport batteries from the battery charging station to the water check station, load the charged batteries into the water check station and unload the batteries from the water check station upon completion of a check of the water level in each of the batteries by the water check station. The check station utilizes an elongate probe adapted for insertion into each cell of the battery through a cap positioned on the cell, the cap comprising a pair of elastomeric members having oppositely facing concave portions, each of the concave portions including a centrally positioned cut for allowing passage therethrough of the probe.
