Claim 38:
39. A method for forming and testing a plurality of batteries connected in parallel and in series, the method comprising the steps of:
connecting a PTMD according to claim 6 to each battery to form a PTMD-battery combination;
connecting the PTMD-battery combinations in parallel to form a parallel battery group;
connecting two or more parallel battery groups in series to form a parallel-serial battery group;
connecting a voltage equalizer to each parallel battery group;
connecting an equalizer power supply to the voltage equalizers;
connecting a battery testing system (BTS) or a regulator to the parallel-serial battery group, wherein the BTS or the regulator provides a current and voltage source for charging and discharging the batteries; and
forming and/or testing the batteries by running current from the regulator and from the equalizer through the plurality of batteries simultaneously.
