1. A battery checking device comprising:
- (a) a pulse generating circuit for producing pulses with such a frequency that a load does not operate in response thereto;
(b) a control circuit capable of supplying current to the load in both directions, said control circuit responsive to a positive pulse supplying current to the load in one direction, and responsive to negative pulse supplying current to the load in the opposite direction; and
(c) a checking circuit for detecting the voltage level of an electrical power source as applied across the load when the aforesaid pulse appears at the control circuit,said checking circuit producing a warning signal when the voltage of the electrical power source falls below a prescribed level.

Abstract
Pulses of such frequency that an electromagnetic drive device does not operate in response thereto are produced by a pulse generating circuit. While these pulse are being applied to the electromagnetic drive device, the voltage of an electrical power source in the real load running state is detected by a battery checking circuit.

5. A battery checking device comprising:
-
(a) an electromagnetic drive device; (b) a pulse generating circuit for producing pulses with such a frequency that said electromagnetic drive device does not operate in response thereto; (c) a control circuit capable, upon application of the pulses from said pulse generating circuit thereto, of supplying current to said electromagnetic drive device in both directions, said control circuit responsive to positive pulse supplying current to said electromagnetic drive device in one direction and responsive to negative pulse supplying current to said electromagnetic drive device in the opposite direction; (d) a detecting circuit for detecting the voltage level of an electrical power source as applied on said electromagnetic drive device; and (e) a signal generating circuit for producing a warning signal when the fact that the voltage level of the electrical power source has falled below a prescribed level by said detecting circuit as the pulse is applied to said control circuit. - View Dependent Claims (6)
