<p>An apparatus (10) for measuring electrical energy passing to and from a battery post (116). The apparatus (10) includes a resistor (12) having a known resistance, a first conducting surface (14) and a second conducting surface (16). The conducting surfaces are arranged such that current flow from a battery post (116) will travel through the resistor (12) from the first conducting surface (14) to the second conducting surface (16), and current flow to the post (116) travels through the resistor (16) from the second to the first conducting surfaces. The energy measuring apparatus (10) further includes a first lead (18) electrically connected to the first conducting surface (14) of the resistor (12), and a second lead (20) electrically connected to the second conducting surface (16) of the resistor (12).</p> |
