Abstract: A battery status indicator for use with a DC battery to provide an indication of the battery's ability to provide a necessary amount of charge and is especially useful in a vehicular electrical system using a DC battery. The system is characterized by using miniaturized integrated circuitry for reduced size and increased reliability of operation and includes a single package quad comparator in conjunction with a scaling network of resistors to show very small voltage changes to a network of indicators such as a lightbulb and alarm system. The system is capable of showing in a step-by-step sequence the progressional deterioration in the voltage level of the battery such that it allows one to continuously monitor the status of the battery prior to its becoming inoperable.
