Abstract

An onboard battery load test system for a utility vehicle. The onboard battery load test system includes a vehicle battery, a primary pump disposed in a fluid circuit and configured to pressurize a fluid in the fluid circuit, a backup pump disposed in the fluid circuit as a redundancy to the primary pump, at least one battery sensor operable to generate a battery sensor signal representative of a condition of the vehicle battery, and a controller operatively coupled with the at least one battery sensor. The controller includes a processor, a memory device operatively coupled with the processor, and battery load test logic stored in the memory device and being executable via the processor to determine health of the vehicle battery by: initiating a current draw on the vehicle battery by the backup pump, receiving the battery sensor signal, and determining the battery health based on the battery sensor signal.
