Abstract

Disclosed is a system for testing batteries, comprising: a battery tester comprising: a tester scanner or camera for capturing an obtained battery identifier; a tester network hardware for transmitting the obtained battery identifier; and a server comprising: a database having data, the data comprising at least one historic battery identifier and associated historic battery characteristic and configured to compare the data with the obtained battery identifier; wherein the battery tester is configured to capture a battery identifier from a battery and transmit the battery identifier to the server.

Claims (36)

1 . A system for testing batteries, comprising:

a battery analyzing assembly, having a reader and a battery analyzer coupled to one another;

the reader positioned for an attainment of battery identification data, including battery manufacture data;

the battery analyzing assembly configured to:

receive and house at least one historical battery health data based upon the battery identification data;

house a tested battery data separate from the at least one historical battery health data; and

compare the at least one historical battery health data with the tested battery data for a determination of a battery health of the battery; and

the reader positioned for an attainment of battery identification data having an increased accuracy in the determination of the battery health of a battery.

2 . The system for testing batteries of claim 1 , wherein the reader has a reduced operator input of the battery identification data into the battery analyzing assembly.

3 . The system for testing batteries of claim 1 , further comprising the increased accuracy is in a determination of most probable test parameters.

4 . The system for testing batteries of claim 1 , further comprising the battery analyzing assembly further comprises a battery analyzing assembly hardware.

5 . The system for testing batteries of claim 4 , wherein the battery analyzing assembly hardware is structured to provide access to a data base.

6 . The system for testing batteries of claim 5 , wherein the data base comprises a storage for the at least one historical battery health data.

7 . The system for testing batteries of claim 1 , wherein a resultant of a comparison of at least one battery health data received from the battery and the at least one historical battery health data is the battery health.

8 . The system for testing batteries of claim 1 , further comprising a server electrically coupled to at least one battery analyzing assembly and housing the at least one historical battery health data, wherein the server is configured to receive the battery identification data from the at least one battery analyzing assembly and provide to the at least one battery analyzing assembly the at least one historical battery health data, corresponding to the battery identification data.

9 . A system for providing battery health diagnostics, the system comprising:

a battery health analyzer comprising a reader and a data analysis unit coupled to one in a unitary one-piece construction for a receipt of tested battery data and battery identification data, the battery identification data including battery manufacture data;

the data analysis unit having:

a storage for the tested battery data and a separate storage for at least one historical data based upon the battery identification data; and

an analysis for a determination of a battery health of a battery, through a deduction of a relationship between the tested battery data and the at least one historical data, having at least one battery health data; and

the reader having an increased accuracy in the determination of the battery health of a battery.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the tested battery data comprises a battery identification, and the battery health analyzer captures the tested battery data using the reader and transmits to the data analysis unit.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one historical data is stored in the data analysis unit, where the at least one historical data comprises the battery identification and at least one historical battery health data, with the battery health being a resultant of a comparison of the at least one historical battery health data with the at least one battery health data.

12 . The system of claim 9 , further comprising a server electrically coupled to at least one battery health analyzer and housing the at least one historical data, wherein the server is configured to receive at least one of the tested battery data and the battery identification data from the at least one battery health analyzer and provide to the at least one battery health analyzer the at least one historical data, corresponding to the tested battery data, wherein the battery health analyzer determines the battery health through the deduction of the relationship between the tested battery data and the at least one battery health data within parameters.

13 . The system of claim 9 , further comprising the increased accuracy is in a determination of most probable test parameters.

14 . A method for testing batteries, the method comprising:

obtaining acquired data including battery identification data, including battery manufacture data;

receiving tested battery data with a reader;

receiving historical battery data based upon the battery identification data; and

determining a battery health by a comparison of the tested battery data and at least one historical battery health data by a data analysis unit with the reader having an increased accuracy in the determination of the battery health of a battery.

15 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising comparing the at least one historical battery health data with a second tested battery data received from the battery to determine the battery health.

16 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising electrically transmitting the acquired data between the reader to a data analysis unit.

17 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising determining the acquired data is housed in a database of the data analysis unit.

18 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising prompting a user to populate new historical second data manually where the acquired data is not housed in the data analysis unit.

19 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising electrically coupling a server to at least one data analysis unit housing the at least one historical battery health data, wherein the server receives the acquired data and provides to the at least one data analysis unit the at least one historical battery health data, corresponding to the acquired data.

20 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the reader having one or more of a reduced operator input of the battery identification data into the data analysis unit and an increased accuracy in a determination of most probable test parameters.
