ABSTRACT:
In an electrical resistive-load battery testing system, apparatus and methods are disclosed for independently monitoring and reacting to both the temperature of the load and the power actually consumed by the load. The signals derived by the temperature and power monitoring aspects of the invention may be used to provide visual and/or audible indicators to alert an operator that the system has exceeded predetermined operating levels. The load may be of a carbon-pile construction, though other loading arrangements are possible. According to the direct load-power monitoring aspect of the invention, electrical circuity is used to generate a signal representative of the power consumed by the load as a function of the voltage applied across the load and the current through by the load during the test, and a function such as an operator alert is performed in response to the power consumed by the load.
