    摘要: A method and apparatus for detecting a bad cell in a storage battery (12) having a plurality of cells are provided. Input circuitry (54) electrically couples to first and second terminals (22, 24) of the storage battery (12). Voltage measuring circuitry (70) coupled to the input circuitry provides a voltage output related to a voltage potential between the first and second terminals (22, 24) of the storage battery (12). Conductance measuring circuitry (50, 56, 70) coupled to the input circuitry (54) provides a conductance output related to conductance of the storage battery (12). Voltage and conductance comparison circuitry (56) compares the measured voltage and conductance to references and provides outputs. Output circuitry (56) provides a bad cell output based upon the results of the comparisons.

    摘要: An apparatus (10) for electronically testing or monitoring the condition of a storage battery (12) is provided. The apparatus (10) includes an inductance cancellation circuit (20) for use with a Kelvin probe (16A, B, 18A, B) of the electronic battery tester (10). The induction cancellation circuit (20) reduces inductive coupling between lead of the Kelvin probe (16A, B, 18A, B). The apparatus (10) also includes a DC coupled AC amplifier (24) for amplifying an AC response signal of the electronic battery tester (10). Other aspects include a critically damped band-pass filter (28), a DC to DC convertor isolation circuit (48), operator editable test criteria, a battery temperature sensing element (25), an automatically adjustable gain stage (32) and the use of an internal reference standard (21) for a self calibration.

    摘要: A kelvin clamp (100) for coupling an electronic battery tester to a post of a storage battery. The clamp includes a first metal arm (102) that extends from a first proximal end (104) to a first distal end (106) and a second metal arm (108) that extends from a second proximal end (110) to a second distal end (112). A first hinge portion (114) on the first metal arm is positioned between the first proximal end and the first distal end. A second hinge portion (116) is positioned on the second metal arm between the second proximal end and the second distal end. A pivot (122) is configured to pivotally couple the first hinge portion to the second hinge portion. A first covering (126) is overmolded on the first metal arm and a second covering (128) is overmolded on the second metal arm.
