Abstract
A portable instrument capable of evaluating the electro-chemical deterioration of an object under test such as a multi-cell valve regulated battery ( ) and comprising means capable of temporarily applying across a battery cell a controlled frequency electrical signal derived from an internal battery ( ) within the instrument, the signal being an oscillatory current or voltage controlled injected signal, further means for detecting returned data resultant from the signal application, and utilizing the data and a tailored mathematical algorithm in dedicated computer software to derive the data required. Such an instrument may be used to test battery systems of the type required for uninterruptible back-up power supplies in large industrial installations.
