Battery testing apparatus is provided for rapidly and automatically testing newly-manufactured electric batteries. The apparatus includes a testing machine which has at least one station, and preferably two, at which the batteries are tested for voltage and current output. By using two stations, the test at each station can be shorter and the change in the current output of a battery between the two stations helps to determine battery characteristics more effectively. Each of these stations has a stop for stopping a battery and a clamping arrangement for holding the battery at the station. Each station also has a pair of vertically movable terminal pads and a pair of horizontally movable terminal pads for top post batteries and side post batteries. The apparatus also includes an entry conveyor which is effective to supply one battery at a time to the stations of the machine and to effectively stop and hold a line of batteries to be tested. Adjustable, water-cooled shunts are also provided for the current output tests.
