1. A system for monitoring a plurality of electrochemical cells comprising:

  • switch means having an input and output;

    multiplexer means for monitoring signals indicative of the cell voltage levels of a plurality of cells, and having its output electrically coupled to the input of the switch means;

    selection means electrically coupled to the multiplexer means for coupling selected ones of the monitored signals to the switch means at respective times via the multiplex means, andmeans for momentarily operating the switch means during a portion of each of the respective times to apply the selected signal to a measuring circuit via the output of the switch means,whereby the switch means is used to apply a plurality of cells to the measurement circuit as different signals are selected by the multiplexer.
