Abstract
A microprocessor—controlled tester for nickel cadmium batteries is described. This versatile instrument allows up to three cycles of charge and discharge to be performed automatically with results presented in hard—copy form. The tester determines whether defective cells are present in a battery by comparing the discharge characteristics with previously established values. Batteries can also be discharged in a way which simulates their use in defibrillators.
