Abstract
An electronic control system for a reserve, energy sourced, or deferred action battery that determines start-up temperature and voltage conditions to determine the necessary amount of charge to deliver from a reserve battery to a discharged battery. A temperature sensor is used to measure the ambient temperature and operating temperature of the electronic control system. A target charge value is selected based on the ambient temperature and startup voltage information. The operating temperature of the electronics control system is monitored to ensure the most efficient and reliable delivery of charge. Indications are provided to the user to provide information regarding charging status, connection status, and voltage levels.
