Abstract: The present invention allows batteries to be tested in conjunction with being re-charged, and identifies failed or failing batteries before they are put to further use. The present invention can simultaneously test and charge multiple batteries, and can simultaneously test and charge different types of batteries. A method according to various aspects of the present invention comprises: identifying, by a computer system comprising a user interface, a provided battery to be tested; receiving, through the user interface, a selection one or more tests to perform on the battery; and performing, using a battery testing system, the one or more tests on the battery. In this method, the battery testing system is in communication with the computer system, and the battery testing system comprises a battery interface for coupling with the battery.

Abstract: The present invention allows batteries to be tested in conjunction with being re-charged, and identifies failed or failing batteries before they are put to further use. The present invention can simultaneously test and charge multiple batteries, and can simultaneously test and charge different types of batteries. A system according to various aspects of the present invention comprises a control system. The control system includes: (1) a processor, (2) a user interface in communication with the processor, and (3) a memory in communication with the processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: identify a provided battery to be tested; and receive, through the user interface, a selection one or more tests to perform on the battery. The system further includes a battery testing system in communication with the control system.
