1. A battery load temperature monitoring system, comprising:

  • a resistive load;

    means for coupling a battery to the load to perform a test on the battery;

    an optical sensor supported to receive thermal radiation from the resistive load and output an electrical signal representative of the level of radiation emitted by the load; and

    means connected to receive the electrical signal from the optical sensor and perform an operational function if the level of radiation emitted by the load exceeds a predetermined value.
