Abstract
An electronic battery tester for testing a storage battery includes first and second Kelvin connections configured to couple to the battery. A forcing function applies a time varying signal to the battery through the first and second Kelvin connections. Further, a probe light is configured to couple to at least one of the first and second Kelvin connections. A microprocessor tests the storage battery as a function of a dynamic parameter measured through the first and second Kelvin connections in response to the applied time varying signal.
