A single ply label for use as a battery label. The invention includes a polymeric film that has an ink layer or metallized outer surface that may include applied print graphics. A cured varnish is applied as the outermost layer adapted to form a continuous protective surface over the battery. The varnish on the label edges that shrink over the rims of the battery has a geometric pattern to accommodate the greater shrinkage of the film and still provide a substantially continuous surface of varnish protectant.

A method for producing a battery tester label is disclosed. The method includes forming an inserted tester device and a base layer, which are combined together to form the battery tester label. The resulting tester label can be applied to a battery. Also disclosed are methods for producing a plurality of battery tester labels disposed on a common releasable liner. The resulting array can be stored for subsequent application to batteries, cut into relatively long strips for rolling and storage, or immediately applied to batteries.

A battery encased with a label containing an integral test circuit device that is thermally insulated from the battery by an expanded material and is activated by depressing a selected area of the label whereupon a thermally sensitive material associated with the test circuit displays whether the battery has capacity. A method for producing the test circuit device is also disclosed.
