Battery maintenance tool with probe light
First Claim
1. A battery maintenance tool comprising:
- a maintenance tool housing;
electronic circuitry within the maintenance tool housing;
a cable, substantially external to the maintenance tool housing, comprising a plurality of conductors, wherein at least some conductors of the plurality conductors are configured to electrically couple to the electronic circuitry within the maintenance tool housing;
at least one probe light, separate from, and independent of, the maintenance tool housing, the at least one probe light configured to electrically couple to at least two of the plurality of conductors in the cable,wherein the at least one probe light is configured to receive power via the at least two of the plurality of conductors to which it is electrically coupled.

Abstract
A battery maintenance tool, which electrically couples to a battery, includes a maintenance tool housing and electronic circuitry within the maintenance tool housing. A cable, substantially external to the maintenance tool housing includes a plurality of conductors. At least some conductors of the plurality conductors are configured to electrically couple to the electronic circuitry within the maintenance tool housing. At least one probe light that is configured to electrically couple to at least two of the plurality of conductors in the cable is also included. The probe light, which is separate from the maintenance tool housing, receives power via the at least two of the plurality of conductors to which it is electrically coupled.
