Storage battery with integral battery tester

摘要

A storage battery (10) includes a battery housing (18) and a plurality of electrochemical cells (30) in the battery housing electrically connected in series to a positive terminal (12) of the battery and a negative terminal (14) of the battery. A first connection (38) is coupled to the positive terminal of the battery and a second connection (40) is coupled to the negative terminal of the battery. A battery test module is mounted to the battery housing and electrically coupled to the positive and negative terminals through the respective first and second Kelvin connections. A display or other output is configured to output a battery test result from the battery test module.
