Abstract
Battery management may be provided. First, a battery string in a battery bank may be charged for a charge time. After charging the battery string, the battery string may be isolated from charging for a rest time. Once the charging and resting from charging is complete, a test open circuit voltage for each battery in the first battery string may be measured. In addition, a defective indicator that a battery is defective may be recorded in a database. Next, a battery may be loaded with a preset load for a load time. After loading the battery, a test load voltage for each of the batteries loaded with the preset load may be measured. A second defective indicator that a battery is defective may be recorded in the database when the test load voltage for the second battery is greater than a load voltage differential.
