ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for indicating the level of the electrolyte in a battery cell. A three-electrode sensor probe having the electrodes partially embedded in an electrically insulating housing suspended in the electrolyte so that a portion of the probe is immersed in the electrolyte. The electrolyte provides the only conduction path between the electrodes so that the resistance between the electrodes varies according to the level of the electrolyte. An AC or pulsed DC sensing signal is applied between two of the electrodes and an output signal related to the level of the electrolyte is produced. A polarizing current is applied to the other electrode to prevent the buildup of surface contamination on the two sensing electrodes due to the sensing signal.
