Battery probe set with interchangeable probe tips and light source
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230251316A1) describes a battery probe set that includes two probe assemblies. The first probe assembly consists of a housing with a gripping portion, electronic circuitry, a probe stem, and a probe tip. The second probe assembly also has a housing with a gripping portion, electronic circuitry, a probe stem, and a probe tip.
One of the key features of this battery probe set is the inclusion of a probe light on at least one of the probe tips. This probe light emits light around the probe tip, providing illumination for the tip and the surrounding area. The battery probe set also includes a battery box within one of the gripping portions, which stores a battery to power the probe light.
The patent also mentions that the probe stems of the first and second probe assemblies can be replaced with stems of different lengths. Additionally, the length of at least one of the probe stems is greater than 750 mm.
The first probe tip is configured with a conductive pin that is angled at approximately 45° relative to the probe stem. Alternatively, the first probe tip can have a conductive pin angled at approximately 30° relative to the probe stem. The first probe tip is also replaceable with tips of different angles.
The first probe tip includes a trigger mechanism that is activated by pressing the tip against a battery terminal. This allows for easy and convenient testing of batteries.
The battery probe set can be coupled to a battery tester, which is capable of measuring resistances between a range of 400 µO and 20 µO, as well as current ranging from 10 to 6000 ampere hours.
In addition to the battery probe set, the patent also describes a battery test assembly. This assembly includes a battery tester and a battery probe set that is communicatively coupled to the tester. The battery probe set consists of a first probe assembly with a housing, probe stem, and electronic circuitry, and a second probe assembly with a housing, probe stem, probe plug, and electronic circuitry. The probe tips of this assembly can also be replaced with tips of different angles, and the probe stems can be replaced with stems of different lengths.
Overall, this patent describes a battery probe set and a battery test assembly with various features and configurations that enhance the functionality and versatility of battery testing.
