A method for testing the health of locomotive battery blocks includes coupling a load to a first and a second battery block, the first and second battery blocks are coupled in series, activating a contactor coupled between the first and second battery blocks and the load to channel electrical energy from the load to the first and second battery blocks, and determining a voltage of the first and second battery blocks to determine the health of the locomotive battery blocks. A portable battery block health tester and a locomotive including a battery block health tester are also described herein.
