Abstract
A system a vehicle battery tester configured to test at least one condition of a vehicle battery and to transmit battery condition information relating to the at least one condition of the vehicle battery to a server. The system also includes the server, which is configured to receive the battery condition information from the vehicle battery tester and to transmit, to a consumer, a report generated based at least in part on the battery condition information
Claims23
A system, comprising:
- a vehicle battery tester configured to test at least one condition of a vehicle battery and to transmit battery condition information relating to the at least one condition of the vehicle battery to a server;
- and
- the server, wherein the server is configured to receive the battery condition information from the vehicle battery tester and to transmit, to a consumer of the vehicle battery, a report generated based at least in part on the battery condition information.
A method of reporting vehicle battery information to an owner of a vehicle battery, comprising:
- testing the vehicle battery, via a battery tester, for at least one condition of the vehicle battery;
- determining a geographic index factor, an environmental index factor, an equipment bias factor, or a combination thereof;
- determining an adjusted performance metric for the vehicle battery, wherein the adjusted performance metric comprises an adjustment for the geographic index factor, the environmental index factor, the equipment bias factor, or the combination thereof;
- generating a report of the vehicle battery having at least the adjusted performance metric;
- transmitting, from the battery tester to a server, the at least one condition of the vehicle battery, the report of the vehicle battery, or both;
- transmitting, from the server to a consumer, the report of the vehicle battery.
A battery report transmission system, comprising:
- a server configured to receive at least one battery test result of a battery of a consumer, to receive a preferred type of communication of the consumer, to generate a battery test report based at least in part on the at least one battery test result of the battery, and to transmit the battery test report to the consumer via the preferred type of communication of the consumer.
