1. A method of determining a state of health of a generator battery and an ability of the battery to supply a generator starter motor with start-up energy, the method comprising:

  • building a reference voltage profile for generator starts;

    capturing a battery voltage profile during a generator start operation;

    comparing the captured battery voltage profile to the reference voltage profile; and

    determining if one or more parameters of the captured battery profile differs from one or more parameters of the reference voltage profile by more than a predetermined amount.
