Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  H  Y | IPC G  H

Claim 5:
6. A circuit assembly for forming and testing a plurality of batteries, the circuit assembly comprising:
a battery testing system (BTS) having channels for testing multiple batteries simultaneously;
a parallel test management device (PTMD), as recited in claim 1, for each battery, wherein each PTMD connects to its respective battery serially to form a PTMD-battery combination, wherein the main relay or switch of the PTMD is capable of isolating a battery that has a problem, and wherein the current transducer or shunt of the PTMD is capable of measuring equalization current and all other current through a battery for precise measurement of and calculation of current and charge/discharge capacity through the battery;
circuits for connecting PTMD-battery combinations in parallel to form a parallel PTMD-battery group and for connecting the parallel PTMD-battery groups to a BTS channel, wherein the BTS channel provides programmed current, voltage or power, and wherein current is distributed to all batteries in a balanced manner,
wherein a BTS channel is connected to the parallel PTMD-battery group, and wherein the BTS channel provides a current and voltage source for charging and discharging the batteries.
