Claim 28:
29. A serial-parallel testing module (SPTM) for use with an energy storage device such as a super-capacitor or a battery pack, the SPTM comprising:
a circuit board for receiving and connecting to the energy storage device and for receiving electrical components and for providing circuits among the electrical components and between the electrical components and the energy storage device;
a parallel test management device (PTMD), as recited in claim 1, wherein the main relay or switch of the PTMD is configured for connection to the energy storage device serially, thereby forming a PTMD-device combination,
wherein the current transducer or shunt of the PTMD is capable of measuring equalization current and all other current through the energy storage device;

circuits for connecting two or more PTMD-device combinations in parallel to form a parallel device group;
a voltage equalizer connected to the parallel device group;
a power supply port for receiving external input and for providing a control power supply;
an equalizer power supply for the voltage equalizer; and
a charge/discharge current source, wherein the power supply port is integrated with the circuit board, and
wherein one or more energy storage devices are formed and tested by running current from the charge/discharge current source and from the equalizer through the one or more energy storage devices simultaneously.
