ABSTRACT:
The invention provides apparatus for testing the condition of a battery comprising a load, means to connect the battery to the load for a predetermined interval and means to measure the battery voltage at least at the end of the interval.
The invention further extends to apparatus for successively testing the condition of a plurality of batteries comprising means for connecting one of the batteries to a given load for a predetermined interval, means for measuring the voltage of the battery at least at the end of the interval, means for determining the condition of the battery from the voltage measurement, and control means for connecting a fresh battery to the load and repeating the testing of the batteries until all the batteries are tested.
The invention also provides a method of testing the condition of a battery including the steps of connecting the battery in a charged condition to a load for a predetermined interval, and measuring the battery voltage at least at the end of the interval.
