Patent number: 5789100Abstract: A battery strength tester used on a battery which has indicating means to indicate the strength of the battery and switching means which can easily be employed to complete a circuit so as to place the indicator means across the terminals of the battery and display the charge of the battery and wherein said switch, after a predetermined interval or temperature is reached, automatically opens to break the electrical contact across the battery terminals. A light emitting material employed as the indicator material is another special feature of the battery strength tester.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1995Date of Patent: August 4, 1998Assignee: Stratetic Electronics, LLCInventors: James R. Burroughs, Alan N. O'Kain

Patent number: 4962347Abstract: A flashlight or a portable lantern having a built-in battery tester to determine the voltage or capacity of the battery, either under an electrical load or under no electrical load. The battery tester can comprise a voltmeter, ammeter, liquid-crystal cell, LED, color-indicating redox voltage-indicator cell, or a voltage battery-monitoring circuit that intermittently monitors the voltage of the batteries for brief pulses, compares the battery voltage with the standard reference voltage, and initiates a signal system if the battery voltage falls below the standard reference voltage.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1988Date of Patent: October 9, 1990Assignee: Strategic Energy, Ltd.Inventors: James R. Burroughs, Alan N. O'Kain
