ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a system for individually monitoring the condition of a single battery or each battery and related supply cables in a multi-battery battery pack. The system includes a means for positively indicating the condition of each battery in the battery pack. To monitor the condition of each battery, the system includes a means for comparing the voltage applied at the two terminals of each battery in the battery pack, and if this comparison reveals a deviation from a normal voltage difference, the system will indicate that the battery or related cables are faulty. For a properly operating battery the system will provide an indication that the battery is supplying the proper voltage, and when the voltage of any one of the batteries deviates from the standard, a system provides an indication that the particular batteries so deviate and will continue to show a deviation until reset even though the defective battery shows a normal voltage under a no load condition.
