ABSTRACT:
A battery tub tester is disclosed that tests the individual batteries, battery accessories and connections as they are being assembled into a battery tub for an electric vehicle. The batteries and battery tub accessories, including temperature sensing devices and battery monitor modules, are mounted and electrically connected in the battery tub in accordance with a known battery tub assembly scheme. As the assembler mounts and connects the batteries and battery tub accessories, the tub tester determines the battery voltages of each battery after it is mounted and connected within the tub to determine if the batteries have the desirable voltage and will operate as they are intended and are connected properly. Additionally, the tester determines the temperature readings as the temperature sensors are being mounted, to determine if the temperature sensors will operate as intended and are connected properly. In this manner, the assembler will know that the battery tub is assembled properly and the components will operate properly prior to the battery tub being mounted to the vehicle.
