摘要： A user interface for a software-driven system includes a switch selectable between a plurality of discrete positions, a database of functions performable by an execution unit within the system, and software configured to correlate positions of the switch with functions within the database. Indicia may be provided at the various discrete positions identifying the functions corresponding to these positions. By placing the switch in a particular discrete position, the user can select a function from the database. The indicia may be interchangeable, and the database and software upgradeable, such that additional or different functions may be selected via the user interface without resort to substantial hardware upgrades. A display and optical indicators may provide system state information to the user. A software-driven battery charging/testing system includes means for executing battery-related functions, means for storing a database of battery-related functions, and means for selecting from the database.

摘要： A battery testing/charging system includes an execution unit, such as a battery tester/charger, a receptacle configured to receive an external booster pack, and an outlet configured to power the booster pack when the booster pack is connected to the outlet. The receptacle removably receives the booster pack, such that the booster pack can be removed and separately carried when the execution unit is not required. The receptacle may be integrated with the execution unit. Alternatively, the execution unit may be mounted on a cart, and the receptacle integrated with the cart. The cart may also include an accessory storage tray and an output device bracket. The execution unit may receive partial or total power from the booster pack.

摘要： An alternator and starter tester system having a starter current zero test. The current is measured before and after a solenoid of a starter motor is energized and deenergized to determine if the starter motor should be failed. This allows the operator to quickly determine if the starter motor is stuck on during normal starter motor testing.

摘要： A method of boosting a vehicle battery includes supplying a current to the battery, detecting an engine crank event, and, upon detecting the engine crank event, dynamically adjusting (i.e., first substantially increasing, and then decreasing) the current in response to battery voltage. The method may also include verifying a crank-ready condition in the battery by comparing one or more of battery voltage, battery current, and battery charge accumulation to respective crank thresholds. In certain embodiments, this verification step occurs only after a minimum charging time has elapsed, and may time out after a maximum charging time. Once the crank ready condition is detected, the operator may be so signaled. At the conclusion of the boost and crank cycle, the current to the battery may be interrupted and the engine status—started or not started—may be detected. The battery may also be monitored for error conditions.

摘要： An alternator and starter tester system having a bar code reader. The bar code can contain information regarding the component being tested and can direct the tester to conduct the appropriate test. The bar code can also encode the results of the test on a second bar code. The second bar code can then be coupled to the tested component.
