Method of testing characteristics of battery set
First Claim
1. A method of testing characteristics of battery set making use of a multicircuit voltage tester having a plurality of voltage testing line sets connected respectively with a positive terminal and a negative terminal of a battery unit of said battery set, which is subsequently permitted to discharge to a load for a period of time upon an interruption of an input power source and which is subsequently recharged by a resumption of said input power source;
- wherein said multicircuit voltage tester scanns, reads and writes repeatedly data of voltage of said battery unit of said battery set at a time when said battery set discharges and is recharged, with said data stored in a memory of said multicircuit voltage tester and plotted as characteristic curves in relation to time such that said characteristic curves are spaced in coordinate equidistantly to form a chart, comparing said characteristic curves and determining a characteristic of said battery unit of said battery set by observing a change in space between said characteristic curves.

Abstract
A method of testing characteristics of battery set includes a multicircuit voltage tester having a plurality of voltage testing line sets, which are coupled respectively with a positive terminal and a negative terminal of a battery unit of the battery set, which is subsequently permitted to discharge to a load for a predetermined period of time and which is subsequently recharged. During such times when the discharging and the recharging of the battery set are under way, the multicircuit voltage tester is capable of scanning, reading and writing repeatedly the voltage data of each battery unit. Such data are stored in a memory and are plotted equidistantly to form a chart comparing the voltage characteristics of the battery set. The characteristics of each battery unit can be determined by observing the change in space between the characteristic curves in the chart.

5. A method of testing characteristics of a battery set making use of a multicircuit voltage tester having a plurality of capacitors, each of which is connected no a voltage testing line set connected respectively with a positive terminal and a negative terminal of a battery unit of said battery set, which battery set is subsequently permitted to discharge to a load for a period of time upon an interruption of an input power source and which battery set is subsequently recharged by a resumption of said input power source, comprising the steps of
scanning, reading and writing repeatedly data on the voltage of each battery unit of said battery set at a time when said battery set discharges and is recharged by scanning, reading and writing the voltages across each of the capacitors; -
storing said data in a memory of said multicircuit voltage tester; plotting said stored data as characteristic curves in relation to time with said characteristic curves spaced in coordinates equidistantly from each other on a chart; observing for a variance in equidistant spacing between said characteristic curves; and determining from said chart which battery units in said battery set require individual testing by determining where variance from equidistant spacing exists.
