ABSTRACT:
A battery charge indicator for determining the remaining useful life of a battery which accurately measures the battery voltage in an operational environment and provides an indicator of relative levels of the operational condition of the battery and a proportional measurement of its expected life utility. The device employs solid state circuit elements for compactness, which include a Zener diode as a reference voltage element coupled to a voltage divider network and a plurality of amplifiers connected to an array of separate indicators such as light emitting diodes, which indicate particular battery voltage. A thermistor network may be included to provide compensation for temperature variations of the operational environment of the battery and load.
