Abstract
Example aspects include methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable medium for battery testing, including selecting, by a control unit of a system, an existing load configured in the system, wherein the existing load is connected to the control unit; and testing, by the control unit, a battery of the control unit by using the existing load to discharge the battery.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A method of battery testing, comprising:
- selecting, by a control unit of a system, an existing load configured in the system, wherein the existing load is connected to the control unit and comprises:
- a first battery configured in the system;
- or
- a device that is addressable by the control unit;
- and
- testing, by the control unit, a second battery of the control unit by using the existing load selected by the control unit to discharge the second battery.
An apparatus for battery testing, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories communicatively coupled with the one or more processors and, individually or in combination, storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, individually or in combination, cause the one or more processors to:
- select, by a control unit of a system, an existing load configured in the system, wherein the existing load is connected to the control unit and comprises:
- a first battery configured in the system;
- or
- a device that is addressable by the control unit;
- and
- testing, by the control unit, a second battery of the control unit by using the existing load selected by the control unit to discharge the second battery.
One or more computer-readable media comprising instructions for battery testing, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, individually or in combination, cause the one or more processors to:
- select, by a control unit of a system, an existing load configured in the system, wherein the existing load is connected to the control unit and comprises:
- a first battery configured in the system;
- or
- a device that is addressable by the control unit;
- and
- test, by the control unit, a second battery of the control unit by using the existing load selected by the control unit to discharge the second battery.
